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.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now I will figure out what one I like
best. Thanks again.


Another mistake... I don't live in an earthquake zone anymore, but
tall bookcases should be fastened at the top and into studs using
L-brackets. Filing cabinets can easily tip too.
