Re: How do you organise your bookshelf? Dunja Send a noteboard - 26/11/2009 02:13:10 PM
The most important factor is size because I have a limited length of shelves for oversized books.

Then I organize books loosely by topic and author. I'm not very strict though. If, for example, I have an art book and a graphic novel by the same author, they go on separate shelves.

But you know what is the best method? The rainbow method! I was thinking about it but I have too many black books for that. It would be a lame rainbow-shelf.
