Any DIY woodworkers who can explain (in brief) to a novice what kind of hardware/process you would use to keep those shelves attached to the backboard, and all nice -n- perpendicular? I'm dying to try something like this, but it's been, um, 24 yrs since woodshop in Jr. H.S., and I remember little except my love of the smell of sawdust, and the fact that I really got into it.

A wonderful design. I like the way the vertical board can retain the books on the next shelf. The beautiful mid-century ceramic and glass pieces enhance the view.

I REALLY like this - so much so that I saved the photo to my desktop and I am going to show my father and see if he can make me something similar.

I saved this too, and am dying to know how! Awesome item!

As a fairly experienced woodworker, I'd say that the design of this shelf makes it fairly easy to pull off construction wise.
The way that the shelves jut off in different directions would give them great stability when screwed through the backing board (which looks more like birch or maple than walnut to me - the shelves are likely walnut though)

Nice! But it's not really a BOOK case, is it?
