My home office has two walls mostly covered with wall-attached bookshelves.
I screwed bracket support strips to the studs (not easy to find through panelling plus plaster and lath) put shelf support brackets on those and then boards (the early ones were painted; the later ones left bare).
The brackets can be adjusted about in increments of about an inch and if mounted properly the system is very sturdy. It does put holes in the wall and scratches on it and is a bit slow to put up or take down.
One caveat: Use real boards. Composites - even wood-and-glue - tend to deform under load through what is known as plastic creep. (No, I'm not insulting the salesman.)
