The 3M bookshelf game series was a series of board games produced by 3M from 1962 to 1975. These games were marketed towards adults and were designed to fit onto a standard bookshelf. Each game fit into a slip cover that was made to resemble the spine of a hardcover book. 3M's catalog described them as "bookcase games, packaged in attractive leather-like slipcases, make a handsome set of volumes for any bookshelf."
The line consisted both of republished classics such as Go, Chess and Backgammon as well as original games designed by freelancers, such as Acquire and Ploy.

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
