Books: Any square containing books is difficult terrain (view combat map).
Table: The table is also difficult terrain and provides cover. The books do not provide cover.
Bookshelf: A bookshelf can be toppled over onto an enemy. Apply Normal, Medium Damage Expression (pg 42 DMG). The bookshelf falls forward one space and can hit 2 enemies. Make sure you are not in one of those spaces. The PC's can stand next to any side of the bookshelf as there is space between them.
