The most common category of organizing a book shelf (other than none) is by size? Why?
- Ekaros 2y agoLooks most reasonable. Aesthetically clean lines are pleasing.
- satiric 2y agoI can understand putting the tall stuff on its own shelf/shelves to save space
- IanCal 2y agoIt's physically easier (no tiny books deep back sandwiches between large encyclopedias), similar books or books in a series are often the same kind of size (cookbooks are larger, paper back novels are smaller), if you know what the book you want looks like it's very easy to narrow down where it is and it's very easy to put things back/together.
- StefanBatory 2y agoI do organize my books by genre (IT/science, high fiction, low fiction, history, non-fiction, language learning). ... and then by size. It's the most aesthetically pleasing for me, genuinely.
- t-3 2y agoBecause books come in different sizes, but the number of different sizes is relatively small. So, if the number of books is more than can be fit on one shelf, it most likely makes the most sense to organize by size.
