I apreciate the suggestion but, at best, that is overly technical and requires tools I don't have and can't fit in my house, like a table saw.
Opting for screws, as I see it, will allow me to build around the concept of basic boxes I can put together with a strong conector that does not require skill beyond knowing how to properly operate a hand drill, to then stack to form the final bookcase.
My concern is finding a connector that will allow for repeated assembly and disassembly, if necessary, without sacrificing strenght and ease of use, while minimizing wear and tear of the hole.
Do you have a circular saw? You can do the dadoes in the sides with that by setting up a guide and taking multiple passes. Use a chisel to clean up the base afterward and it'll be great. For repeatable assembly, maybe go for those threaded inserts combined with hex bolts.
I have but I lack the hability to use it to that level of hability. I've tried on very rough work, where precision wasn't a high requirement, and the results were disastrous.
Practice time! Good luck dude
