Arranging books

Posted by rich, 8 Nov 2006

BookshelfAnother busy day at work and not enough time to post what I was hoping to, but such is life. Instead, then, let us note a frivolous but fun article at the Guardian about how people arrange their book collections at home.

Having just moved house, bought some new bookshelves and seen my collection grow slightly over the last few weeks, I've been giving this quite some thought of late. My approach, however, will remain as it was before: arrange by (broad) subject and then alphabetically within. The real problem I have is where to store magazines and both newspaper and academic articles — all those copies of Prospect, Sight & Sound and hundreds of printed articles are difficult to manage. I'll get around it as I normally do — by just piling them high — but there must be something more suitable?
