Light bookends don’t work
A hollow metal L-bracket slides the moment you pull a book. Solid marble at 5+ pounds a side simply doesn’t move. If your shelf of reports and manuals is permanently leaning, check the Amazon price.
Solid Carrara Marble Bookends

The practical details
Full-contact felt on the base protects wood and stops any creep; the edges are beveled so they don’t nick the desk. Check the weight per block and dimensions on the Amazon listing.
