Anyone care to critique either the construction or aesthetic design?

Is there somewhere else you can post this diagram? Some of us don't get
binaries on the services we use.

I can't convert it to a raster file with sufficient resolution to be
usable.


This worked fine. PDF files display automatically with Thunderbird if
you have the Adobe Acrobat plugin installed.

As for the design, I like a solid plywood back let into rabbet. I like
top and bottom shelf glued into rabbet in the sides, and shelves in
between on shelf pins.

Also, unless this is a special purpose bookcase, standard shelves are
12" (11 1/4") and if it is only 4' tall and on the floor, it should have
an overhanging table like top, with molding under the over hang.

Other than that, the design shown is OK, just not how I normally would
do it.
