Shelf Builder

Give Spine a gap and a palette. It picks editions that fit, deterministically — the same inputs always fill the same shelf.

Nothing fits. Widen the height range or the palette.

Most thicknesses are estimated from page counts and can be 20–30% out. Measure the gap, then check the spines before you buy.
