They just put the bindings facing the outside on each side. Four shelves isn't that high, you could just hop over into the loops. Besides how often do you need to reference every book every day? Just put the ones you don't read as much on the insides. You can see, on the right side of the photo, that the shelves are two books deep. They just put the bindings facing the outside on each side.

I love to see curves in all types of furniture. Just one problem here - are all the books inside the loop easily accessible? Thanks from Tony Hey, this is a great bookshelf design.

Follow one of the sides and you will see that there are actually 2 sides that are just connected so that if it were to spin like a baggage carousel, you would only ever see half the books, no matter where you stand.

Simon, it does run on both sides of the structure. It runs on the first and third rows*, up a coil, then on the second and fourth rows, and up the other coil back to the beginning of the path. *regardless of how you number the rows, but I chose top-down and traced the shelf left-right on the closest part for it to go "up" at the coils.
