Q&A for How to Organize a Book Collection

Try displaying your books by height vertically, going from tallest to shortest. To add some extra interest, stack some of your books horizontally, too.

Stash your books an underbed storage container. Some brands make really large containers that can hold up to 66 quarts (62.4 L). They're typically see-through and have rollers on the bottom, which is really nice.

Use books as décor or props in your home! For instance, if your living room has a lot of yellows and whites, you might place a book with yellow cover on your coffee table.

You go in alphabetical order by the first letter of the title. Most people do not count articles (a, an, the) as the first word to alphabetize. Go to the next word.

Go to the website Fantastic Fiction and search for the book or author on the site. When you have found the book, the site will tell you what the genre is, underneath the bibliography.

You can organize your books in alphabetical order, by title or by author, depending on your preference.

C. Confusion might come because you try to eliminate each word and hear how it sound and it appears the same for both.

Organise by the series name, and then order the series by reading order (book 1, book 2, etc).

You can organise books by the same author by title or by publication date, whichever you prefer.

Most of the time books are organized alphabetically using the last name of the author, and then if 2 different authors have the same last name, you'd sort them by the first name. If you have different books by the same author, you'd sort them by the title.
