I want to attach labels to my book shelves, e.g. "History",
"Computing", "Cooking" etc. But I don't want to use any form of sticky
label.

What would be ideal is transparent plastic channelling that "snaps"
over the shelf. These IKEA Billy shelves are 18mm thick. I could cut
the channelling to size, using ordinary scissors.

Then I can easily move the labels as and when the contents of the
shelves change. The labels themselves I could just print off on my
laser printer.

Has anyone seen anything like this, or has alternative suggestions?

My first thought would be the 'C' shaped channel used to hold printed
information above things like patch bays used in broadcasting. Comes in
various heights.
