Visceral classification

Last week, I mentioned to a couple of people - who are discussing their home book organising arrangments - that I'd seen a couple of blog posts recently on classification by colour, so here they are: one from Peterme, and another on a reorg at the Adobe bookshop from McSweeneys, which Tom Coates posted on Plasticbag.

My friends got tested out on CD colours, and it seemed to work, so they've decided to go down the colour route.

I think this is a great method for items you know. Colour is more visceral than methods such as class or author.
