Hello, I am looking for a specific style of shelf supports that I can't seem to find anywhere. They are mounted to rails at the back of your bookcase in
3/4" or 1" slots. The bracket that hold up the shelf is virtually a flat piece of metal bent at 90 degrees that hooks into the metal rail. This is different from most other shelf support and rail systems in the design of the support. The flat side of the metal is parallel to the floor. Most of the other rail systems have the flat side of the support perpendicular to the floor to give extra strength to the support. There is a specifice reason for having the flat side horizontal. If I were to put a book onto a shelf without checking where the support was, I could push it back into the shelf support and squash all the pages on that edge, thus ruining the book. If anyone has any ideas where to find such a support, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Sean.- posted
