The distance between each book shelf will be a about 2.5 feet he won't need support like that - it will look like shit too. Providing he's opting in for 3 book shelves. It will be fine - id go for thicker oak.
Edit: 2.5-3 inch oak is really nice, or just put a lip to look like its 3 inch oak you'll need a carpenter to finish it.
2-3" thick oak is over double the cost of 1" thick oak...
It would be easier to do it this way.. PLUS it would look like it's 2 thick solid pieces however it's actually only 1 solid piece + a rigid skeleton underneath it to help with weight for moving...
