“There’s this new trend of organizing books by color. I love this photo by chotda linked via the Rainbow of Books Flickr group. This growing trend is cool but if I were gonna do this, I’d probably have to create a little digital database so I’d be able to find the right book I was looking for. Also, I’d probably be totally OCD if a book was out of place due to a subtle color tone. Jessica at How about Orange points to a San Francisco bookstore Superhero that rearranged all 20,000 books by color. Link.”[Round about via designverb]
Okay it looks cool. But as one who reads books, and doesn’t just let them sit there, this would drive me crazy. The fact that parts of series would be scattered all over in the sake of looking good doesn’t make sense too me.
That all said, the final effect looks freaking cool. Those that do work as hard to do this gets major props from me.
