Clean and well done. One of the best of its type (the dark industrial entries ;))

I like it a lot, really well done riviting and binding on the bg.

Industrial. Fits the word perfectly. Very good execution , very good work (I was expecting this seeing Paul's name). Looks like it could stand thousands of pounds of library content. :P

even though it looks like it was just unwrapped from a protective acetate, and its not used and worn a bit, something about this appeals to me, maybe its because i know Paul... no, its because it rocks!

Thanks guys. I didn't know I had a reputation. Ha! Though I would like to say that the Shelf Talker just doesn't look nice when it is so small. The only time it is really noticeable in all its glory is at the largest size, which I should have taken care of. Oh well.

The bolt for the label is a cool idea Paul, maybe if you made it so that it looked like a bolt from the side it would give it some depth? Might be neato.

Really nice, especially in use -- though the horizontal gradation doesn't scale predictably. I like the darker grey, and the details are great without being too distracting. I might have moved the first column of rivets so it wasn't showing only halfway.
