The wiki sort of describes how to arrange the bookshelves around the enchanting table for max enchantments, but I'm having trouble understanding what it's saying. Could somebody explain the most efficient way to arrange bookshelves around an enchanting table? Wood and reeds are in basically infinite supply for me.
Start with a 5x5 square (horizontally).
Put the enchanting table directly in the middle.
Leave the 3x3 circle alone.
Put bookshelves in the 5x5 circle.
Put another row of bookshelves directly above the other ones.
Remove 2 bookshelves wherever you want for a door.
Voila! You have a compact, max enchantment level enchanting room.

If I have the ceiling be 3 high rather than 2 high, or make an extra level out of bookshelves for aesthetic purposes, will I still get the maximum level?

Make a 3x3x3 cube with the enchanter in the middle.

Wow thanks so much for this - the wiki just doesn't explain in enough detail.
The wiki explains in too much detail. There is definitely more than one way to do this, but this is the simplest way that I can think of. For any other method, you need pistons.

How would you go about doing it with pistons? I'm curious.
Now with 15 as the top, it is easy to get 4 tables with 0, 5, 10, and 15 max (for level 1-5, 5-15, 15-23, and 23-30) enchants using just 2 lines. Stack enchanting tables 2 high, with 3 empty spaces between. Go another 1 space on either side and make 10, giving:
0 X 10 B
5 B 15 B
B stands for bookshelf, X anything, numbers are power levels of the 4 enchanting tables. QED.
I just put the freakin bookshelves wherever the hell I want, and I still get level 20 enchantments.

Yes, so long as the bookcases look like this:
This picture. That's all you need for the maximum benefit, and putting more in won't do anything more for you.
do i need the corners too?
Yes

That kind of redstone is a little beyond me at the moment, but I see the point.
