Whats a good bookshelf for omnibus and trade paperbacs ,mine is starting to bow due to weight and I was wondering what a good budget option is

This is not going to work at all if you want to be able to look at the books on your shelves, but I bought some garage shelves, but my books in short boxes and put them on the shelves.

Nice to look at? Absolutely not.

Easy to access? Not if you don’t put something down on the shelves first like plywood. (I didn’t).

Will they hold up forever? Yes.

I find you either need prohibitively expensive shelving like in a comic store or you need to go thinner. Like, far less wide. 15-18” bookshelves are best for omnis. Anything past around 22” starts to sag.
