Over the time you’ve seen a lot of bookshelves on Freshome, but what I’ve found today is really impressive. I was browsing Flickr and I found this beautiful example of organizing books by color and the smart guy that managed to do it, is user chotda. This is a very good way of changing the whole aspect of a bookshelf with a little bit of creativity. I guess you’ll have to pay more attention to the book’s cover from now on if you want to reproduce that effect and have your own rainbow bookshelf.

the color of the cover anyway!

Grey says: I think this is absolutely gorgeous! I could rock that, because my brain functions in such a manner that I remember the color of the book before I remember the author or the genre. Soooo….yeah. :3
Thank you for posting this! <3

Caitlin says: Anyone who says it will be impossible to find a book either has no visual memory or no idea what a database is.
Anyone who says books don’t come in these colours have clearly not picked up a modern-day, pedagogically-advanced textbook.
I think this is a fantastic idea. I’ve been trying to figure out how to organise my thousands of books for a while now. Of course, I went down the same route as everyone else: organisation by subject. I tried using both the LCC and DDS, and both were horrible for my extensive collection of bioinformatics and medical imaging related books (i.e., tons of books from meds and the life scis combined with loads of CS and tech texts, with many that are both). I’d been so frustrated, I gave up, thinking that maybe I’ll come up with my own little classification system someday. Perhaps I’ll try this instead!
RJ says: I used to do this with my CDs. Only took up a shelf or two though. I like the look.

Roque says: Holy Christ what is wrong with some of these commenters. Have they heard of Paxil? Have they heard of “If you have nothing nice to say…?” Here’s my something not-nice, addressed to the negative commenters: pleeeease get a life.
Seriously, where’s the fire? Must one’s need to find a book be a life-or-death race against time? Maximum efficiency in ordering your shelves doesn’t have to be priority one for anyone. “Books are meant to be organized by subject”?! And here I thought books were meant to be read. Life’s short, pal, but not that short. Many of us would prefer egregiously impractical beauty. It is far from “pointless” or “retarded.”
BEAUTY IS THE POINT. IF LIFE IS SHORT, IT IS FAR TOO SHORT TO SURRENDER BEAUTY TO EFFICIENCY. If the sad, hateful, glass-half-full bean-counters have a problem grasping this simple notion, I hope they keep it to themselves . . . or that they only subject paid professionals to their toxic inner monologues.
