Woodsmith magazine Vol 18/No 108 has plans for what they call a "Children's
Bookcase". It provides shelves that are tilted back so things don't fall.
The dimensions are off for what you need but the concept is adaptable.
Basically what you use are four "L shaped shelf support with holes." The
front supports are put in place and screwed into the front of the shelf
board. The back of the shelf is allowed to pivot down until it hits the
back shelf supports which are placed lower than the front thereby providing
the backward tilt to the shelf. In the plan there is no back to the case
but each shelf has a back board attached to it. That may not be necessary
but probably useful to prevent an upper book from falling behind the shelf
onto a lower bookshelf if the books are pushed back. Since the shelf can
pivot, from flat to inclined, it may help with your display allowing you to
change it as needed.

Happy building!

Thanks for the suggestion.
