I was thinking of starting with pine, but am afraid that it may be to soft

What do you intend to do to your bookcase that softness matters?
If it's used for the reference books in a public library abrasion form
putting books in and taking them out might be an issue, but on more
ordinary usage frequency (per book) you wont damage the shelves.
