In what order do you file your books on your bookshelf

[Mark]

By the authors name A-Z.
By fish type, ie all the carp books together etc.
By order of your merit.
Or in any old order.

[RobTheRake]

By size, in true OCD fashion.

[Gurn]

By size, in true OCD fashion.

Me too.

[Mark]

You have lost me chaps, what does OCD mean.

"Afternoon all",

I do like to keep all books by the same Author/Authors together, but I am also restricted by having shelves set at varying heights.

[The VFC]

Clumped roughly by height but little other order than that - it does mean that series tend to live together and all my auction catalogues are in the same place. It can still take me upwards of 20mins to find the obscure reference book Im after though! Should be more organised but lifes too short....

[Loop Erimder]

By author all together, the not so good ones at the end and the ones I need to read are together seperate, otherwise not really in any order, i'm not making sense to myself really ............... I'll get me coat

[Julian]

With regard to angling books, so that the the ones I like most have the prime positions when I look at the bookcase/ shelves - ie best books on middle shelves and not at either end..... if you see what I mean

I keep an updated list of those I haven't read yet - then it doesn't matter where they are filed.

Books are grouped by subject matter - eg angling separate from Wildlife, travel writing, etc

[Pedro]

Mine are on quite deep shelves,so its favourites at the front,others at the rear,rather disorganized but it works for me.

[Dave Burr]

Roughly by name but they end up spread all over the house and often get put back out of order - OCD I ain't
