Inset bookshelves

Hi, my wife wants me to build recessed bookshelves in our office wall. My question is how much can I modify vertical studs to add in long horizontal book shelving? I am fairly handy with woodworking, and have plenty of tools and know how to get the execution part done. I just don't have any formal knowledge in home structural weight. Or is the best option here just to lose 12” of one side of the room and build out? Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/Bonezjonez999 [link] [comments]
