What's the best distance to have between the two brackets of a shelf?
It's going to hold books, and I don't want it to bow in the middle (or
anywhere else).

Is it better to have the brackets at 1/3 and 2/3 distance along the
shelf, or 1/4 and 3/4 distance? Or is the optimum figure somewhere in
between?

How long is the shelf?

About 1.2m.

If it's evenly loaded, surely the brackets (if only 2) should be at 0.25
and 0.75 of the length...
