I've already completed it this time, but interested to find out better ways for next time.
A wall cabinet (bookcase could have same design): sides and back had dados routed in to fit 4 shelves. Top and bottom fit between the sides and back is inset.

The challenge with snug dados was getting the 4 shelves into the 2 sides and the back. The first 2 components are easy enough but the hard one is where you're trying to locate all 4 shelves at the same time.

Went ok with a dry fit. But after glue applied it was a race against time to get it all assembled and alignment.

So, what assembly sequence or process do you use?
 
I'd think you want to locate the back being the longest dado then each side and finally pop the top and bottom in??
