Step 1
There are 4 different choices for the first book, but once that one is in place, there are 3 choices for the second, two for the third and then only 1 book remains to be placed on the shelf last.
This assumes that the books are all different.
Step 2
The number of possible arrangements is 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
This is called '4 factorial' and has the symbol 4!
