From the submitter: While I appreciate the skill displayed in the other booklamps produced , I feel they lack a certain kludge factor. I think I’ve achieved that here. Plus, no books were harmed in the making of this lamp! Submitted by: Amstrad
From BPerry2: I was able to build this lamp for under $20 (US) The books cost $6, The Switch and fixture cost $7.50, and a few misc. items that was another $4.
Last week I issued a challenge to design a book lamp like boutique ones made by Typewriter Boneyard but for a fraction of the cost. Lo and behold, user Richard made a beauty.
