The question of etymology is really killing me (and google is no help, since \\\"bookends\\\" turn out to be 2 different things related to books. One helps you read a book without having to hold it, the other holds the books upright on your shelf (without having to read them :-) ) it\\\'s interesting in it\\\'s own right, but beside the point.) How did the word \\\"book end\\\" come to denote this, uh... trope? It doesn\\\'t even seem to be confined to books- if anything it\\\'s more prominent in visual media!
