    if the shelves are quick and dirty, just screw in some 1x2's for shelf supports. If you're trying to get really fancy, there are lots of ways to do it. Do you need them to be adjustable? Is it a free standing bookcase, or built-in?

    its in a pile of ruble in my garage atm LOL
    Gonna work on it this weekend. I think my issue is i used nails and not screws. I think screws would make it much tighter.

    If you use nails use finishing nails and if you use screws get ones with the littilest head, to make it look better
