There is a paper pieced pattern for these "bookshelf books". My small quilt group did a block exchange using the pattern and all the quilts turned out great. Some of us wrote the names of books on a light colored piece of fabric that was pieced into the spine. We tried to personalize it using the receivers "likes".

Here is one free pattern:

This is the pattern we used called Book Block for the Library Shelf (it's about the 9th pattern down):

Hope you find something you like. You should have a lot of fun with this! We sure did.
