What kind of work are you doing now?
About half of the work I do comes from plans, my only formal education in woodworking came from high school, and that was so long ago, it's mostly just a vague memory! These bookcases look impressive, but in reality are quite simple to make.
Here's the link for the plan, I modified the plans to fit my needs. I made the first one for my son out of walnut and curly maple, that one is quite striking. The plans call for mortice & tenon joints which took me forever to do, I did the last two with my Domino and was able to complete those in about 1/4th of the time as the first two!
