I'm toying with the idea of having through dovetails on the bottom
front molding where it meets the side bottom molding.

I'm not sure how it will look/blend with the rest of the bookcase

Dovetails are nice, but they do add "busy-ness" to the design. I like
the clean design you already have and think the flutes are enough - and
that flutes /plus/ dovetails might be too much.

I suspect everyone's mileage will vary...
