I just built some shelves for my study and used a latex paint on the
inside, front, and sides. I just found out that I can't use the latex
paint for the actual shelves. Looking at the posts from other groups
it is recomended that I use an oil base paint so my books... won't
stick to the shelves. Anyway, can you tell me if I'm going to see a
big color difference between the latex if I use the oil base on my
shelves?

I wouldn't think Latex would be a problem after a month or so, but
perhaps it is. For shelving I'd prefer melamine or something
similar for ease of cleaning. Perhaps you can paint them a
contrasting color so it looks like you did it "on purpose"? ;-)

Sherwin Williams store suggested waiting 30 days prior to putting
anything on latex painted shelf.

With flat latex they wont stick after it cures with gloss it can, oil
might peal if the latex doesnt cure out for a month.
