His bookcase is organized by color? I'd never be able to find a single book in my library if I did that.

- LandoCalrissian 13y agoI organize mine by size, so I have my own version of crazy.
- chris_mahan 13y agoSpine size or cover font size?
- spc476 13y agoIt could be height (I used to do that as a kid).
- loumf 13y agoMy bookshelf has adjustable heights and putting all the tall books together means I make the best use of space.
- chris_mahan 13y agoCome to think of it I do that too. Ikea Ivar shelves!
- devindotcom 13y agoMine are by genre/topic, then by size and subtopic, at least on my big topical bookcase. We're not crazy!
- themodelplumber 13y agoI organized one of my bookcases by spine color. It's a really easy way for me to find books because I can just think of a book and the spine color comes to mind. Furthermore, because the colors are grouped, my eye goes to the right section instantly. This may not work for everybody, but I love the speed of access and the way my bookshelf looks as a result. Edit: I have done this with my icons in the past, too: http://flickr.com/photos/porkfriedrice/3753844018/ http://flickr.com/photos/porkfriedrice/3753844018/
- bobbles 13y agoI've seen people do this with their phone home screens as well, so you just swipe to the colour of the icon you're looking for.
- prawn 13y agoI have organised mine by colour in the past also. It does impair discovery, but I tend to glance at my bookshelves more often than I hunt through them for a particular book.
- erehweb 13y agoThere was a whole bookstore in S.F. that did this for a few weeks as an art project - http://www.superherolife.com/journal/archives/000453.html http://www.superherolife.com/journal/archives/000453.html
- jseliger 13y agoYeah. On the other hand, mine are disorganized and not easy to navigate except by me. They used to look like this: https://jseliger.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/bookshelves-offices-and-neil-gaiman/ https://jseliger.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/bookshelves-office... and a photo of Neil Gaiman's are there too FWIW.
