Tom,
   If you don't have too much of a space problem, I have a solution. If you do, but you have a good carpenter, it can still work.
  In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, I used to see a lot of ugly, over-carved camphor chests out of Hong Kong. You should be able to find those  used, relatively cheaply. Or even new. They are really out of fashion. Buy a few to store your books, or 'cannibalise' them to supply the camphor wood for your bookcase.
