A Bookshelf with a Novel Sliding Book Stop

Here's a nifty bit of design from Brent Biglow, who runs Canadian outfit Biglow Woodworks. The Book Stop is a wall-mounted bookshelf with an integrated, adjustable bookend. But it doesn't rest on the shelf; instead it hangs from the ceiling of the structure, riding in a dovetailed groove.

The unit itself arrives flatpack, and the user can easily assemble it with no tools—there's no hardware. The sides attach to the horizontals via, again, sliding dovetails.

The $180 units are available in Cherry or Walnut and will ship this summer.

What is the wall mounting method? French Cleat? It appears that every feature cut into the material, besides outside shape, could be done with a single dovetail bit. It would be interesting to see the manufacturing process.
