Para-bookend and bun is a 14-cell strict still life consisting of a bookend and a bun stabilising each other. It is one of seven ways in which a bookend and a bun can be arranged to create a still life, and one of the six which have two separate islands.

This specific isomer is named para due to the two inducting faces being skewed from each other, and the "denser" parts of each island are roughly on the same side, with the bun being higher than the bookend.

Commonness

It is the 159th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
