halacha - Minimum separation to place sefarim on the floor


According to Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (28:4), one may not sit on a surface upon which sefarim are currently resting, unless the sefarim are placed on something which is a tefach above that surface, and certainly they may not be placed on the floor.


However, in many Judaica stores that I've been to, and in many other places (e.g. the bottom shelf of a bookcase), I have seen sefarim placed on the ground, separated only by a board less than an inch in thickness. Are there any opinions that permit this?
