Hi, I am building a DVD rack and also a book shelf. Is the a good reference cart or book that will give me guide lines for what type of wood I am using for the span of the shelf?

Dear 11dot99:
Check this recent article from Fine Woodworking, by Chicago woodworker Jeff Miller. It includes a chart to help you reckon shelf spans.
