[link] organization by color!

books, organized by color! - link seen in nikkinewsnet.

I am greatly pleased by this. The joy, the joy! The absurdity of what books might now be next to other books!

Color-sorting... yes. Just as long as you don't need to find anything, of course. ;)

Actually, I often have an easier time remembering the colour of the book I read something interesting in than the title or author. (Especially if it was a short story in an anthology.) I think that scheme would be adequate for me for finding things. Not great, but adequate.

I remember short stories in older anthologies by typeface and texture. "Oh, that must have been in a Judith Merrill best-of because it's all squinchy and the paper is brittle." Newer ones are harder because the fonts all look the same! I also go by era of my life when I remember first reading the story, i.e. was it during my Terry Carr phase or my Martin Greenberg phase? I might remember hardback vs. paperback or themed antho vs. single-author vs. best of the year, but that's about it.

I have an entire floor-to-ceiling bookshelf of anthologies, so these things are important. *)

That's a lot of anthologies! And I thought _I_ liked anthologies. ;)

I definitely remember some books by color and cover picture/theme.

I just wish that I had some good way to organize by books... which currently involves getting a lot more shelving and moving some place stable so that I can use that shelving.
