Fiction: alpha by author, with anthologies at the front.

Nonfiction: grouped by subject, no particular subject order, except that reference are grouped together on the most reachable-from-my-desk shelf (I’m an editor, and I grab the same several books many times a day). Within the subject areas, sub-subjects are grouped (e.g., within “travel,” all the books about my local area are together), then it looks like I’ve defaulted to arranging them by size.

Comp copies of books and journals I’ve worked on: All together on some inconvenient high shelves, arranged by size. I’m starting to run out of space for these and am reluctant to let them go since they do come in handy once in a blue moon, so until I buy another shelf and move them to another room, I’m starting to stack them vertically so I can fit more in.

I arranged my neighbor’s bookshelf by color. Each little square was filled with books of a similar color spine. Here is the result. Click image to enlarge:

We’ve got ours arranged by height kind of- but we have all of our fancy art books and collectible hardback editions grouped together in a glass-doored display shelf. When I was a single gal/bookstore manager, my books were of course, arranged alpha by author.

Katie’s my soulmate : ) I have a Stephen King shelf, a Neil Gaiman and a few other faves shelf, a classics shelf and so on. We had planned on doing built-ins this year to make way for more books and my husband’s dream t.v., but we all know how that story ends.
