The complete guide to DIY book nook kits

A book nook — sometimes written "booknook" — is a slim 3D diorama that slots between the books on your shelf, creating a little window into another world. The best DIY book nook kitsarrive as flat-packed boxes of laser-cut wood, paper and acrylic with an LED light strip, and you assemble them yourself like a relaxing 3D wooden puzzle.
