I have just bought another tall bookcase and have decided on a whole new order of shelving. Th e best bit is that they are about 75% manga books and all uniform in size and a lot are the same colour but must be put in thier number order.I'm such a geek! Now, do I order in terms of my favourates catching my eye first or in alphabetical order, or with the largest collections (50+ from the same series) all together...

I love buying new bookcases and sorting my books. I would do favourites first, then alphabetical order of series (with the books within series being in chronological order)

Oh, I am envious!

Keep your series together, in number order definitely. Then you can see at a glance if any are missing. We have a lot of graphic novels and it was only when lending a friend the Sandman series, a couple at a time, that I realised one is missing.

The worst of it is that they've changed all the covers now so when I replace it they won't match anymore. I might just go and have a little sit down to feel sad about that for a bit...

We've recently boxed most of our books up as we've had 2 DC and space is at a premium now - can't wait to get a bigger house one day and unpack them all again.

Happy shelving!

Favourites first then alphabetical. I've never been into manga etc but books are everything to me.

Rainbow order

DON'T order from the internet....please! Isn't it better to collect them one by one from real bookshops instead of getting them all at once....

This is why Village Voice in Paris has just closed, it's probably why Shakespeare and Co has ridiculously high prices (19 euros a secondhand paperback), isn't Waterstones in trouble too?

Oh shit! Sorry, just read the thread.

You ANBU at all. Enjoy. As you were Blush
