Very nice! It's a shame that Calibre doesn't have pics of the book spines to work with on something like this.

I can imagine this being used to design a better Goodreads UX where you can see your friends' libraries. Super cool!

The thickness of the book being calculated from its page count is a really nice touch.

Here is a tip to attract users: Add screenshot(s) showing how your bookshelf looks like.

Looks nice! What is the license for this project – I can't find it on the project? Thanks!

Good call, I've added an MIT license to the project.

Nicely done. Years ago I had the idea of projecting my Kindle library onto the wall to look like a bookshelf. Stopped at the idea stage.
