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.

thank you.

Second question - should I rout at 19mm so the 18mm shelves fit in easily then use glue, or 18mm and risk having to knock the shelves in a bit?

Maybe make a couple of test joints and see what works best with your stock and equipment?

Definitely do a couple of test joints as mentioned, but assuming accuracy all round, 19mm rebate for an 18mm board will end up feeling sloppy/being weaker across the whole structure
