I 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/
