I'm looking to make up a set of bookcases.

 

We have an old room that we are going to turn into an office / study, and we have a lot of books (herself is a historian).

 

Rather than go out and just buy some kallax units in Ikea, I'd like to have a shot at doing up some bookcases for the room.

 

I'm reasonably handy with DIY matters and am comfortable working with wood, but haven't a clue how to go about this.

 

Has anyone done this before / got any good recommendations?

 

Edit: this is the sort of style that I'm thinking about book-storage-ideas-shelves-6.jpg

Last time I did something similar, I knocked up the bookcases as separate units,made and levelled a plinth then fixed bookcases to plinths, made shelves adjustable on tonk strip and fixed bookcases together behind strip so as to hide fixings,

Then fixed bookcases at high level to wall,

Forgot to add I rebated backs to accept 9mm ply,and its easier to keep things square,
