[Hint: Break this into 12 tasks, placing each book separately. Start with the sequence $1,2,3,4$ to represent the shelves. Represent the books by $b_{i}, i=1,2, \ldots, 12 .$ Place $b_{1}$ to the right of one of the terms in $1,2,3,4 .$ Then successively place $b_{2}, b_{3}, \ldots,$ and $b_{12} . ]$
