calmly ranted:

Hello, I am going to be opening a bookstore in about 6-8 months and I need
to build about 50 - 60 bookcases. I have not been able to find any plans
with sloped shelves. (The shelves need to be sloped backwards so that books
that are stacked with the front cover facing out will not accidentally fall
forward and out.)
There is a company called Franklin Fixtures that sells these type of
bookcases pre-made. Here is a link to their website (so you can see what I
am looking at making):

I would like to make about 35-45 of the 84" Tapered Single sided cases and
about 15-20 of the 54" Tapered Double sided cases.
The shelves also need to be adjustable.
Has anyone seen any plans for these types of bookcases?

Heck, that's easy. Just make a standard bookshelf and whack
half an inch of the bottom in the back. Back two of them up
to each other and they won't fall over.

I've never seen a tapered bookshelf plan, Sean. Have you asked
any bookstores where they purchased theirs? I'll bet most are
custom built by local carpenters.
