K so bottom has 20 and each time it goes up you the shelf has 2 less books, so to find how many shelves there are. There are 9 shelves so we add the number of books of these 9 shelves 20+18+16+14+12+10+8+6+4=108

THere are 108 books

Hope that helpes srry if took so long i had to get up for a sec :)
