I need to reorganize my fiction bookshelves. What system has worked best for you? I'm leaning towards going by author, though that leaves the question of how to treat anthologies. Maybe anthologies could be first, or shelved by the editor's name. Alphabetical by title (preceded by numbers) might work just as well as by author.

I had been doing them by height size, except for the graphic novels, which tend not to match any standard size.

These particular bookshelves are all fiction (except for graphic nonfiction) so organizing by subject seems unwieldy.

I tend to do by author, and anthologies by "well I'm never going to be able to find this regardless, so by editor I guess".

Not necessarily recommended. 😄

@ceoln @bookstodon ha ha ha. I guess I need to see how many anthologies I actually have.
