This is great, but too much emphasis on alphabetical order imo. I would try to group more in terms of chronology/movements for literature and poetry. Maybe have Ginsberg next to Whitman, nawaimsayin

Why does everyone want a man in a dress for a gf? Sorting books by colour is trash and retarded, but it's feminine which makes it reasonable and quite cute if a young woman wants to sort her YA like that.

I’ve been proceeding forward in history and across different cultures.
Top shelf is all of my Bronze Age literature and histories.
Second shelf is Greek literature, Histories, philosophy.
Third is Roman, then I have a shelf for China and India.
Will continue with this scheme as I progress forward in time.
Within shelves I arrange by size of the book for visual neatness. Decent layout?
