[PB&J] 2-Prim Full Notecard Book Giving Bookshelf Set

I rarely write reviews, and usually not unless it is to praise an item. In this case, the review is for those who share my expectations for this bookcase.

It *is* a very attractive item, with a menu offering a choice of 4 different wood textures. The beautifully sculpted books certainly place it on the high end of the L$0-25 range standard for such bookcases.

The low rating is for the rest of the package, which has problems.

First, the script gives books only to the owner. (Not only the bookcase but the notecard texts are "no transfer.") This defeats the purpose for which I--and perhaps others--bought it and seems to make the label "giving" misleading. In effect, this is a nice piece of furniture that is also a box with contents that can be copied only into the owner's inventory.

Second, and more importantly, while working on adding my own (transferrable) notecards to the contents, I rummaged through my inventory for an old box containing smaller boxes of books on notecards, painstakingly collected, sorted, and boxed according to genre by The Artisan, and discovered the contents of this bookcase (but for the standard "give object/bartender menu" script) exactly match the contents of this original collection. So, free items have been copied wholesale, without alteration or credit, into someone else's item.

Most seriously, although the free collection of boxes *as a collection* was 'no transfer,' the individual boxes of notecards were full perm. Making these "no transfer" seems to me an abuse of a generous gift. That most of the notecards were originally freely disseminated by the Caledon library and others merely adds to the problem here. These are books meant to be freely distributed!

I've now replaced the contents of my copy of this bookcase.

Fantastic bookcase, low prim , beautiful and great selection of books

Not only is the content of this bookshelf sizeable and amazing on its own, but the bookshelf itself is beautiful and very versatile! I fully recommend you add it to your home as a neat detail!
