	Shopping in that bookshop with the books arranged by colour would drive me mental. I have enough trouble with alphabetical! That said, I love rainbow bookshelves! Great post, I've saved practically every photo to my compie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hahaha! I work in a bookstore, this would come in handy when people come in and say "I'm looking for a book, I don't know what it's called what it's about or who wrote it but it's blue!" (you would be surprised how often this happens...)

Also it's weird how many people a) don't know bookstores arrange their books alphabetically by author or b) know but can't figure it out. I often find people standing around the A's and B's looking for someone like James Patterson (who has written approximately 239085024 books) and come ranting to me "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY JAMES PATTERSON BOOKS I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE THIS IS RIDICULOUS" and then I calmly escort them to the P section and they're like "..... WELL .. WELL THEY SHOULD BE IN SOME SORT OF ORDER THAT MAKES SENSE." *sigh* Okay. I'm done ranting now. :P

	these look beautiful. I was thinking about doing this with my books, but then I wouldn't be able to find anything. (Reply to this)

	love the one with the white couch in front and the dark wooden shelves. looks so dramatic. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	loveoholic 2008-04-30 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	yes, i was drooling over that one myself! i imagine i'd end up buying a whole lot of books i don't really care about just to achieve this, though.. :( (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Books make me happy. Rainbow bookshelves even more. (Reply to this)

	:( I wish I could do that,but most of my books are vintage paperbacks,so they are white. (Reply to this)

	pirategurl32133 2008-04-30 01:02 pm UTC (link)
	woah. That's so cool. I don't think I'd even have enough books to do that sort of organizing! Very cool post, though! (Reply to this)

	noa 2008-04-30 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	oh! i love these. (Reply to this)

	I remember things visually and spatially, but I'm terrible with names. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dirtysara 2008-04-30 01:54 pm UTC (link)
	so organized.. love it! (Reply to this)

	pitoreskni 2008-04-30 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	Haha, the ones in the bookshop make me think of customers in my work who ask for a book and the only thing they can remember is its colour. (Reply to this)

	easternsun 2008-04-30 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	WOW I would be in heaven! :-) (Reply to this)

	frozenground 2008-04-30 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I agree that having them all organized by color looks cool, but I don't understand how they are considered organized, haha. How would you be able to find the book you were looking for? It would drive me crazy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	shefoundlove 2008-04-30 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	love love this idea! (Reply to this)

	limey_flavored 2008-04-30 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	I love the way they look, but its just so impractical! What if you forget what color a certain book is? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_m3_ 2008-05-03 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Given how long it takes to read a book, I doubt that happens. And when you sort your books not only do you come across things you forgot, but you get a refresher on what each looks like. It's really easy, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	fuzps 2008-04-30 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Id make a note about how the hell are you supposed to find anything there, but then, i wouldn't be the first one hehe. I prefer functionality over looks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	allthingsgood 2008-04-30 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	I agree. I love it when things look good but to do this if you have a seriously extensive collection of books is really not practical. Edited at 2008-04-30 05:58 pm UTC (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wow. Awesome. I wish I could make mine look so awesome (Reply to this)
