Bottom Corners - from Rear
This is a bookcase I designed and built for my wife. She requested G&G-style, sized to fit in a certain space and to hold specific books. It’s 42-1/2″W x 28″W x 12″D. It’s wider than it should be for a center shelf that long, but not heavily loaded and is holding up very well. Rear is finished because I envisioned possibly using it as a space divider at some point.

Nice job. As I understand it, G&G and the Hall Brothers finished the backs of every piece. As a divider or not, it's consistent with their workmanship.
I love your design. I am in fact trying to design a similar bookcase with the same finger joints at the top of the carcass. I want the relationship of the fingers and ebony plugs to be as harmonious as your design. I planned on using 1" thick mahogany boards and 3/8" ebony plugs. What was the sizing of your boards with relationship to the plug size....is it 3/4" and a 1/4" plug? Since you probably went through a similar process in your own design, any insights would be tremenduosly helpfull.
Nice job on the book case, I like the design. I've built Arts and Crafts bookcases, but this may be something I need to build for my G&G bedroom set I am making. Thanks for sharing.
