Then again, I have 4-5 bookshelves worth of books....and I'm a huge nerd with book OCD. Even more of a nerd than your husband, in terms of everything except computers. ;)Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772895201754981787.post-51965815572290421332011-12-30T15:39:50.887-06:002011-12-30T15:39:50.887-06:00I so rarely read books I already own I've star...I so rarely read books I already own I've started just getting rid of them. The books we have are arranged by author (hardbacks) and genre (paperbacks, which are simply stacked in areas designated as "mysteries" or "husband's books"). We only have three large shelves of hardbacks and 2 of paperbacks.Jessicahttp://twitter.com/JesabesBlognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772895201754981787.post-60048595342592409182011-12-30T12:07:02.333-06:002011-12-30T12:07:02.333-06:00I LOVE shelves like that.

I have ours grouped by theme and "portion of my life in which they were read."Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383163628351295433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772895201754981787.post-44765226685399970812011-12-30T08:58:38.626-06:002011-12-30T08:58:38.626-06:00I have this same problem with our books.

So on his shelf he has all of say his Dragonlance books, and then within that shelf it is grouped by series, and then at the end all of the one shots by author. Of course I say one shelf and by that I mean most of a bookcase. I am really the only one who might have one book by one author in one genre, so my books are mostly sorted for aesthetic reasons. Height and color mostly. They are all with my books though, so I don't have many options on where to search. And all of our old school books or educational or spiritual books (tech guides, costuming books, reference guides) are on one bookshelf in the office. The system works pretty well. <br /><br />Oh and then there is the problem of hardbacks vs paperbacks. Hardbacks go on a completely different shelf altogether.Megan Hartmannoreply@blogger.com
