With the rebate across the back I’d say 4mm is fine. As for the hidden fixings in the inspiration I’m guessing they’ve just stopped the rebate 20mm from the face and cut the shelves down at the front to match.
I’m trying to convince Liz to let me rebuild our Billy’s in the same way. -
Probably just loads of dominoes (dominos?) As dbr suggests.

You’ve started something now! Liz did a sketch…
So we need 4,500mm of bookcase at 2,100mm tall with 6 shelves of 300mm in each bay. Plus a draw in the bottom cubby. Plus a top.
So that’s 78 shelves, 15 draws.
Why did I show Liz this? Oh and she also ‘likes’ the birch ply best. Oh dear gawd!

I would like to build a free standing plywood bookcase. It'll be from 18mm wisa plywood, and I was considering routing out an 18mm channel, 4mm deep in the verticals and the back in which each shelf can slot. This would mean I don't have to use any visible fixings.
Would 4mm deep be enough to support the shelves? The span of each shelf is 437mm though I could always bring that down by adding in another vertical.
It's inspired by this Jonathan Tuckey / Malin and Goetz store in Islington - but I can't see how those shelves are held in place. Anyone have any ideas?
