This simple sizing guide walks you through measuring up step by step, so you can choose with confidence. We explain how to measure width at more than one height, how to allow for skirting and side clearance, and why the diagonal of a tall bookcase matters when you lift it upright. You will find guidance on choosing a comfortable depth, marking the footprint on the floor, and measuring every door, hallway and staircase on the route into the room. We also cover checking floors and walls before fixing, planning shelf spacing for paperbacks, hardbacks and large format books, and getting proportions right in alcoves and on open walls. A handy checklist and answers to common questions make the process straightforward from start to finish."}
