Sometimes smaller is better. The narrow design of the Tower Bookcase means it will fit into just about any cranny in your home. It has less than a 2' square foot print! Vertical design has six shelves (four adjustable, two fixed) providing ample storage. 77" tall, by 20" wide, by 14" deep is the finished size. The book case in the photo was built using 3/4" cherry plywood (one 4x8 sheet is more than enough) and the back was made from a half sheet of 1/4" cherry plywood. The endgrain should be edged with solid cherry if you use plywood. Why not try solid wood and go for the gold? Plans include a very detailed six-page instruction booklet with many illustration and two 18" x 24" shop drawings.
