Is there a height limit on bookshelves enhancing an enchantment table?

Question

I have built up bookshelves around my enchanting temple like this:

As you can see, there is a bookshelf four layers up. I am planning to add more, will bookshelves on layers above three still enhance the enchantment table?

Answer

Yup

You can find the wiki article here but a quick quote from it:

In order to have an effect, a bookshelf must be placed exactly 2 blocks, laterally, of the enchantment table and be on the same level or one block height above the table, and the space between the bookshelf

They have a nice little set of diagrams on the wiki that help explain the layout a bit better but it pretty much means the bookshelves must rest at the same level or one block above where the enchantment block is placed.
