If you go to your local lumberyard you can tell them you are making shelves, so you want something that looks nice. They have plywood that stains & varnishes up pretty nicely.
Also for the support legs you can use 2" x 36" dowels or 2" x 48" dowels.

^^^ If you go with plywood you'll want to cover the edges somehow. Plywood edges are ugly, especially when it's full of voids like a lot of ply these days. When I last used plywood for shelves I glued a strip of real wood to the edge then planed it down flush.

Good idea. You could use 2" x 3" for under the outer edge. And glue 1" x 4" wood along the three outside edges.
