Bookends (or cis-mirrored hook) is a still life composed of two bookends.

Commonness

Bookends is the forty-sixth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than dead spark coil but more common than elevener.[1] It is also the fifty-third most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2]

In D2 +1 symmetry, it is the 13th most common still life, being about 450 times more common than in an asymmetric soup, and it is the second most common still life after dead spark coil that takes advantage of symmetry to be much more common.
