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?
Thanks for any and all help!

Have you considered using a separate, inclined shelf or easel placed
on a standard bookshelf?

Something like this:

R,

Did you note the price? I know the OP would be making them or having
them made but $50?
