Use the door furthest from the corner so you can trap both the back corners.

If you're not going to use the rear door, why not put bass traps in the back corners?

Meh...prevailing wisdom is that the 5.5" would be better. I mean, you don't *have* to put 5.5" of space behind them. I'd say that the 5.5" with 4" of space is better than the 3.5" with 3.5" of space.

Other than adding two more traps in the corners (preferably floor to ceiling), it looks like a good start. You can spot treat from there. Any reason why the book case has to stay there? It won't do a thing from a diffusion standpoint.
