Those Lack are actually in pretty much the size I want but, according to the IKEA website they have a load limit of 10kg. I suspect we may be looking at more than that with cookbooks in particular. I wonder if the limit is the fixings into the wall or the shelf sagging with only a support at either end.
Cheers @Bobbo if I do go down the DIY route then that looks to be the way to go. I was concerned about getting the holes exactly square without a drill press so that would solve that.
@matt101 they do look quite understated and will definitely be an easier option. Will have to have a think.

Floating can be fine as long as you make sure the brackets are well packed in the shelves (often they arrive a bit sloppy) and use proper long screws into the wall- perhaps even with some resin as the brick is so crumbly. I just used IKEA Lack in my kitchen and they’re holding up well three years later
