First Class Books & Details

1. Subsets.jpg - width=1396 height=1024

2. Trion admiring the obelisk.jpg - width=1818 height=1024

These are taken from the Glamour Life bookcase "First Class Shelves". For the most part, all I've done here is separate the books and deco from the bookcase, then chopped them into smaller pieces to be used individually. I did kinda add a couple new pieces - imaginatively named "Subset 7a" and "Subset 7b". This basically came about because I was wondering if I could use the obelisk as a bookend. Now I know that, " no, you can't, unless you mesh in some books with it ready-made."
I specifically made these to fit doubled on my Curvilinear Librarium shelves, so you may notice that the books are about 80% the depth of their EAxis counterparts. The non-book items I left unaltered. Still, they should look just fine on any other flat surface with a slot.
I also made a recolor, just to have a little variety

It's OK to laugh; I already know I stink at texturing. The recolor is just to remind folks that they are recolorable. And, if any one cares to make a decent recolor for this set, the set is repositoried, with all other subsets slaved to Subset 1 (Books w/ Bookends). You only need to recolor that one master file to recolor all the others.
There is also a Collection file included in the download. Remember to NOT put this file in your Downloads folder but in the Collections folder instead.
Some technical info:
All meshes and textures are EAxis.
in-game price - 7
Catalog placement- Decorative>Sculptures
Known Issues: There is a possibility you will find these incredibly cute, useful, and FUN.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
