Remember this library with a secret powder room behind a bookshelf? I just ran across instructions for making something similar from off the shelf parts at Ikeahacker...
You'll have to play with the aesthetics a bit to make it steampunk styled, but the idea was too good not to share.

I have thought of building a 'Door Engine' to swing out a bookcase, powered by a reaction water turbine. Victorian engineering at it's finest:)
Oooh... or what about a hand cranked one, with a large cog and wheel setup at the top hinge?
