I know, right? I’d never really thought about it before, but ‘shelf’ must be the blandest, most undramatic word in the English language. The Counter-Top, The Ceiling Tile, The Cupboard…? Nope, Shelf has got them all beat for dullness.

Something on the shelf perhaps? I’d buy that. The shelf itself? Just seems completely silly, which, ironically, reflects the quality of this cover art, :-/
