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.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon I tend to sort by size and shape, then alphabetical by author. Mass market paperbacks in their own section alphabetical, then hardcover and trade paperbacks together in their own section. I also break down and fiction, non-fiction, and academic books in their respective sections.
