I prefer trade to HC - I don't find them as comfortable to read, and the trade are still prettier and heftier than the mass market size.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I feel lucky if I manage to get all the books by one author in one place.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
okay - my shelves have the same author together. rough alphabetical ( due mostly to lack of space . really. 9 shelves slight over 3 1/2 feet long does not come close to holding everything) But since books are often bought without plan , matching a series is crazy talk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My authors are together and arranged in chronological order by when they were released.

Well, as Imperial mottoes go, I've heard better. I'm not sure how this will look on a coat of arms.

What if I ammended it to, "I am an anal retentive freak of nature. Bitches!"

That should work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I have books arranged alphabetically by author, and alphabetically by title within an author. Now I just need to actually shelve the books I've read over the last few months, and see how many more bookcases I need. :)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My paperback romances are all in author alphabetical order, with series/trilogies together and in order, which makes it easy when I want a certain book in that particularly overstuffed bookshelf (double stacked, so hard to find). My non-romance fiction is organized by genre, and authors with multiple titles are grouped together, but other than that, it's a bit jumbled. All my nonfiction (other than the oversized titles, which are grouped together on the bottom shelf) is organized by subject matter, and all my history is subdivided (military history is grouped in chronological order by war, European history is together, as is medieval history).
Yes, I've worked in both libraries and bookstores, why do you ask?
