Emmett's mom has the ones Aimée linked to -- I've never liked Ikea much before, but that unit is incredibly sturdy and holds her metric assload of books (and photos and other tchotchkes) very nicely.
I'm still in love with Monstro, though.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You can have it.

Hmmm. The apartment's kind of crowded, but another pair of hands to help with diaper-changing would be nice. Think he'd be willing to sleep in a pup tent in the backyard? We'll give him extra blankets and a bottle of booze to keep him warm.

I mainly order by topic, then author. But I have 3 cases I haven't read (we're talking 150+ books, people.I WANT to read them. Just have to catch the mood.) I got behind, those are haphazard. When I catch up, I'll likely reshelve. ( when in the zone, I'm pretty much 1 book/day + whatever book I'm reading over the week.)
The romance novels? I'm not talking about the bags and bags and bags I need to take to Goodwill or the used book store.

Oh, thanks for the tip! But I think that's actually deeper than the bookcases I have now -- I should have been more clear; the narrowness is a big part of the appeal with the Smartshelves, because I'm basically lining two walls of a rather small room with them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm short a bookshelf, easy. My main problem is comic storage. Cannot work out how.

He probably wouldn't mind that at all, JZ.
ita, would the shelf I linked to above help? Maybe it could be solely comic storage. I assume you do the cardboard thingie and bag. You could maybe put the comics in handy dandy baskets. Almost like drawers. With little labels like:
X-Men 1-eleventy billion
X-Men eleventy-biilion and 1 - twenty brazillion.
Or something.

The short shelves are very appealing, but it looks all shiny and newfangled compared to anything in my apartment.

Then you need all new stuff!

essays, mixed author shortstories, children's books and humor are in the guest bedroom.
Tech and reference are in the office.
the only thing that is wrong like a wrong thing is the LPs in the office. but they need a spot in LRoom.
