I am having to purge the books this weekend as BF has said either the books go (I have read pretty much all of them anyway) or the yarn/fibre stash goes as the house is too small. I also have quite a few book from earlier years at university before I specialism that I can sell. v. jealous of both book collection and your storage of said books.

Again with my obsessiveness, haha! Except for trade size, occasionally some are a little larger than standard...and sometimes there are some odd size hcs. But overall I don't have trouble finding things since I usually remember the edition that I own. :) I'm the same way--they look amazing sorted by color, but I'd never find anything either!

I guess I was just so brainwashed... everything was in subject, alpha by author, then title (but series in numerical, not alpha). right now my shelves are a mess :( when in my right mind, I still like to organize by subject - though I am not as worried about alphabetizing anymore. I, too, have my *favorite* section (Tolkien, Montgomery) - then children's (I still have some of mine, and is really one of my favorite genres!), mystery, non-fiction, crafting, religion, gen. fiction, etc. :) I love it when people organize by color, but I would NEVER be able to handle that! all the titles, subjects, and authors mixed up would drive me bananas!
