Pfft. Real hoopy froods play Heroclix.

I do not play Heroclix but I bought some about 20 years ago.

That seems like an inefficient use of space if the ceiling is anything more than six feet high. If they're ten foot ceilings, then the shelves are spaced about 20 inches apart, which is rather larger than typical books.
