A book is either 'rack-size' or not. If it's rack-size, then its cover will be about the same size as a mass-market paperback, which are all pretty much always rack-size. Most hardbacks and special printings of paperbacks, and pretty much every art and photography book is NOT rack-size.
The importance of rack-size is pretty obvious: most bookstoores have racks in that size, not to mention many of the non-bookstore retailers. If you make something rack-size it's easier to distribute, store, and so on. Not everything can be made this size, of course, because of the resulting thickness or because of pictures. So it goes.

Rack size in relation to bookshelf? I think not. Rather, it has something to do with correctly sizing a shelf bra.

Pamela Anderson jokes aside, I believe that it refers to the height of the book, i.e. what size rack it would fit in.
