BookLiberator Manufacturing Prospectus
Below are detailed photographs of a BookLiberator from finished state to complete disassembly.
A finished BookLiberator consists of two parts, both made of wood (painted black in these photos). The top part is a liftable cube (with cameras attached and plexiglass across the two downward faces), and underneath is a cradle that holds the book:
(Sometimes we call the bottom the “cradle”, sometimes we call it the base. Also, note that the “cube” is not actually perfectly cubical, as you'll see in the measurements below.)
Top view, from above the cube. The straight bar running across the top from foreground to background is called the handle. The cameras are mounted on threaded metal camera posts rising out of wooden pieces called the camera bars. All the faces are open except the bottom two, where you can see the reflection of the plexiglass panes.
This is what the cube alone looks like, before the handle is attached.
This is what the cradle looks like from above (there's stuff underneath to hold it up – you can't see that here, but it will be in later photographs).

This is one face of the cube, seen from the outside. The two recessed screw holes on the lower right are for the handle (since the cube sits diagonally on the base, the screw holes have to be diagonal in order for the handle to be straight, i.e., parallel to the floor).
The recessed screw holes in the lower left and upper right are for the camera bars. (There are also some other smaller, non-recessed screw holes for the plexi clamps, which we'll get to a bit later.)
A detail of part of that same outside cube face.

Unlike the recessed screw holes, the clamp holes do not go all the way through the wood; therefore you do not see any holes in the lower right corner above 
.

On the other side, though, you do see the clamp holes.
