Default Baltic Birch plywood bookcase
In article 0,
says...

My son wants a no-frame bookcase 14" x 39.5" x 52.75" from either 5/8" 11
ply Baltic Birch Plywood or 3/4" 13 ply Baltic Birch Plywood. Will 5/8"
really hold up? I have my doubts.

Run the sagulator on it http://www.woodbin.com/calcs/sagulator.htm.

You'll find that the shelves need some reinforcement--if they are
attached to the back that should do it, if they're removable they need a
reinforcing strip--you can play with the dimensions in the sagulator.

Note that the sagulator doesn't list birch ply, just fir--use those
numbers and you'll have good margins.
