AKICO, bookshelf edition

So! After half a year, my new apartment is almost (almost!) ready for shelving! I.e. I have gotten nearly all bits of other furniture in place so I can squash shelves into every remaining space.

Anyone have shelving recommendations? Stuff available in the US, especially Bay Area California preferred.

Preferences:
  1. I do not like deep shelves or double stacking.
  2. I am good with separating out trade/HC from mass markets for optimal shelving sizing.
  3. I have a lot of manga.
  4. I do not like shelves with doors, windows, glass panes, or anything that gets between me and my books.
  5. I do not like shelves that waste vertical space.
  6. I like longer horizontal spaces. I.e. I don't like really really really short shelves, a la Ikea's Expedit or those skinny DVD shelving towers.

Well, I am here visiting [personal profile] rushthatspeaks, and we have caused there to be more available shelving. Maybe you just need me to come visit. :)

Boards definitely warp fairly quickly, but you can get a four-foot width of these put together in a day really easily.
