James that is a nice sketch,I have tried using it but deleted it and went back to paper and arch scale.Lots easier for me Also use HOME PLAN PRO which a lot easier to use but it is not free.

<p>I like your idea of opening in the middle. It will save on the amount of hardware needed and perhaps also the amount of wood needed to make it.</p>

<p>There is a door on front and back. The books that I drew are 8"H x 5.50"W x ¾"D. At those dimensions each shelf holds 25 books with a total or 200 books for the whole unit. If the depth of the books are smaller then it will hold more than 200 and if thicker then maybe about 150-175 books.</p>

<p>Hope this helps you out.</p>
