I found this photo floating around the internet. Beautiful, eh? I don't think I'd ever do this in my home, because after spending all day at a library, the last thing I want to do when I get home is organize more books. I'm sad to say that my home bookshelves are dreadfully disorganized... no rhyme or reason to them whatsoever. Also, with all the teen fiction that I read, I think a large portion of my bookshelves would just be all black spines. Still, a set-up like this would be perfect in the library for those patrons who inevitably ask you, "I'm looking for this book... it has a yellow cover," and come up dry when you ask them for any other information such as title, author, what the book is about, etc.
This looks beautiful! I tried to organize the bookcases in my bedroom like this at one point but it looked nowhere near as nice as this...my problem was with books that had spines and covers that were different colors- I could never find what I was looking for!
ReplyDeleteHey! I know whose bookshelves those are. They are Chachic's of Chachic's Book Nook. I don't think she has them shelved by color any more but I agree that they are beautiful.
