Organize them using the (Be sure to make a "card file")

sort by genre then author.

Genres beyond fiction/nonfiction/reference are far too vague for proper physical organization and, like music, only make sense in digital libraries where a work can be tagged with many genres and subgenres and then arbitrarily queried. Author>Year>Title is the only reasonable option for physical collections.

Rip them with a scanner, and save/share them

I have a scifi bookshelf and I sort them by the author, then by book title, the same way libraries do.

How does that work? Wouldn't it have to be sorted by one or the other?

If there are multiple books by the same author, you sort them by title within that space.

No, category then alpha-numeric. Then you go to a shelf with lets say history and then find the title.

I'm worried because some shelves are not very tall. My tall books go on the bottom where there is more room. What do I do if I cannot fit a book where it needs to go?

What do I do if I cannot fit a book where it needs to go?

  1. Cut them in half.

  2. Build custom shelves.

You should organize by color, then from largest to smallest.
