AI pick (brand): Simple Houseware

Its heavy-duty metal L-shaped bookends come with non-skid pads in multi-pair packs, which suits holding up full office shelf rows.

Not for: Open desktops with nothing at the far end of the row; use a linked book rack there instead.

Plate length under the books: Pick the longest base plate that fits your shelf depth so several books rest on it. The weight of the books on the plate is what anchors the bookend.
Metal gauge: Choose heavy-gauge steel for binders and hardcovers. Thin sheet metal bends at the fold. A bent upright lets the whole row lean.
Height: The upright should be at least roughly half the height of the tallest book. Short uprights tip over under tall items.
Non-skid pad: Look for a rubber or foam pad on the base underside. It stops sliding on painted or laminate shelves.
