I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke recently, in about 2 sittings, it was amazing. Very fantastical and weird.

By the same author, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - alternate British history set around 1800 where magic is real, one of those books that you just live in the whole time you're reading it (also made into a very good BBC miniseries)

John Eaves just crushed it with the Ent-E

Then in no particular order, SNW Enterprise, Excelsior, NX-refit, and Parliament (USS Vancouver from LD)

I did something similar a few years ago as my first built-in project.

What I found helped was using glue as well as hardware to attach the framework to the wall, and tying them into more than one side of the alcove. Structurally they were some strips with a plywood box built around them and some nice facing on the front.

Tools were really just a tenon saw for the frame pieces and a bandsaw for the back of the plywood where it's scribed into the uneven wall, but you could use a hand coping saw for that just as well.

Diall 8mm universal wall plugs, 7 per shelf (3 on the back and 2 each side)

(The framework doesn't span the whole way cos I was trying to save money and just use one piece of lumber per shelf, probs a false economy)

Good luck!

There's a person in the top right which might help with scale, I think that section is about 20 metres. The orange plants are bracken after it's died off in the autumn

Just x²+c, but when you're integrating between limits the +c doesn't matter - so you're just left with the difference between 13² and 10²...

Definitely the Enterprise-E absolutely perfect.
