Hrm, I checked my rental agreement and there's nothing about drilling, although I'm sure that doesn't mean they're okay with it....
My problem with most bookcases isn't the price necessarily, it's that they're almost all built to be 12" deep, which basically means double stacking. And a lot of commercial bookshelves give you about a foot or so of vertical room, which is also wasted if you're shelving manga or mass markets.... I know you still have to bolt the shallower shelves to walls, but hopefully not studs?
