Shelf and board dimensions still don't add up

Thanks for the pictures, Mike!

But something STILL doesn't add up in the page 23 diagram.

The pictures (and diagram) show what appear to be the back edge of the shelf inserted into a slot into the vertical board, and the 16" and 6" dimensions overlapping.

The diagram states it is 24" front edge to back edge, 16" inches from the front edge for the shelf depth, and yet the the vertical board is only 6" deep. Unless I've gone totally braindead from staring at this problem too long (a strong possibility, given lack of sleep ALREADY... ;-) 16" + 6" = 22" which is less than 24".

That would mean the back edge of the shelf dangles free two inches before encountering the front edge of the vertical board.

So, which dimension is wrong? It's important to know, because this affects the position of the back board, which impacts design reach length in any shelf management tool.

Also, are the back board slope angle and the front edge cut angle both 45 degrees WRT horizontal?

Thanks!
