What do Books, Cacti and Sea urchins have in common?

Five clues in Pinpoint #914 — guess the category they share as early as you can. The first two clues, "Books" and "Cacti", already narrow it a lot if you ask what they have in common beyond the obvious.

Hints

Hint 1: where to start

Ask what "Books", "Cacti" and "Sea urchins" could all be examples of.

Hint 2: a solid foothold

The category has this shape: "Things with s_____"; the hidden word has 6 letters.

Hint 3: nearly there

The last clue, "Porcupines (they're sharp!)", is the plainest of the five: work out what it is, then fit it to that shape.
