No measurements, sorry. The difference between books pulled out away from the back of the bookcase or pushed up against it is audible to other listeners, though it's a bit of a pain moving that many books to demonstrate :-)I first realised how much absorption there was in books when we were packing to shift from our previous home. The listening area there took up one half of a long, combined living/dinig room. Of course I packed up the system late in the piece but before it came to that, I ended up with about 43 cardboard packing cases of books stacked in the other half of the room and the difference in sound quality was quite noticeable—much tighter and better defined. There was definitely no diffusion from a neatly stacked block of cartons so the only things going on were some reflection and a lot of absorption.
It was that experience which prompted me to put most of the books in the listening room in our new home, and I've found them quite useful there. The difference in sound between the bare wall and the wall covered in bookcases full of books was extremely pleasing.
