for a personal library, sort your fiction books by general spine color (white, black, red, blue/green, brown, ect), and then by height.
for other books, sort by broad category, and then by height.

@Dave depends on the type of library. public libraries use it but private use can use other systems
-
@why ordering books by color is faster and more intuitive than alphabetization for fiction because fiction is too arbitrary to categorize. ideally one would have a shelf for each color category.
-
@why for personal libraries, being able to immediately know which shelf a book is on is more important than knowing the exact location from the title because it can be assumed we know what the book we are looking for looks like, and there aren't as many books to sift through.

@hehe i donated almost all my books 3 years ago. i only have a couple reference books now.

@hehe books are mostly pointless. i've torrented pdfs of books i have on my shelf because i'm too lazy to grab them.
no sentimentality for books in particular because i grew up reading paperbacks with torn off covers (this is how bookstores and libraries "destroy" books before dumping them off) and chucked them in the trash when i was done with them.
