Default Bookcase Backing

Be careful with balance. If you use 1/4" ply in the back you lose a
lot of weight. I've seen the mistake made on a bookcase with a glass
door that didn't have a heavy enough weight in the back back and it
would tip over when the door opened if it wasn't full of books.

I won't say exactly who made the msitake but i do see him in the
mirror every morning.
