In luminous paintings and arresting poems, two of children's literature's top African-American scholars track Arturo Schomburg's quest to correct history. Where is our historian to give us our side? Arturo asked. Amid the scholars, poets, authors, and artists of the Harlem Renaissance stood an Afro-Puerto Rican named Arturo Schomburg. This law clerk's life's passion was to collect books, letters, music, and art from Africa and the African diaspora and bring to light the achievements of people of African descent through the ages. When Schomburg's collection became so big it began to overflow his house (and his wife threatened to mutiny), he turned to the New York Public Library, where he created and curated a collection that was the cornerstone of a new Negro Division. A century later, his groundbreaking collection, known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, has become a beacon to scholars all over the world.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not too thick and durable and sturdy.
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 24"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack
Just before I purchased these 3 I bought 2 sets of 2 larger ones. The color is exactly what I was needing. They are packaged together so no scratches or damage. My husband (the installer) says they are easy enough to install.
They are perfect for a diy update, durable and hold plenty of weight for their size. Happy happy customer

Good quality for the price
Color: Black, Size: 30"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 30"W x 6.7"D, 3 Pack
Seamless floating shelves that look and feel great. I opted to use different drywall anchors since I didn't trust the ones that came with the product. I have bad drywall and no studs where I was mounting so that doesn't fall back onto the product. The shelves are true to size and have held up great. The shelves themselves aren't too heavy so it leaves some room to add weight onto them. I used the 30in long shelf on the left and 24in long shelf on the right to create a nice corner shelf. There are additional screws on the bottom the keep the shelves from moving off the bracket.
