A:  I attached the side panels with non drilled shelves using 2" wood screws. You can screw from top and bottom into the sides or from both sides top and bottom depending on where you want the unfinished edges to show. Just remember to account for the extra 1-1/2" side to side or top to bottom for the width of the two attached panels depending on which direction you attach them. To give extra strength and allow for free standing of the bookcase, screw one shelf in a permanent location about midway and then attach 1/8" backing board to the backside with finishing nails or wood screws. I prefer screws because they do not wiggle out or pull out of the back. This made a very sturdy bookcase for my daughter's room.
