Shelf Respect

Decluttering is all the rage, but what do you do when your preferred style of interior decor is miles of overstuffed bookshelves? If you can't bring yourself to clear your collection, Shelf Respect will validate your life choices.Do you alphabetise your books or organise by genre... or (heaven forbid) colour? Have you merged your collection with your other half's? (And do you write your name inside the cover, just in case?) Do you keep all the books you've read, or only the most cherished? Are you a Billy aficionado, or are we talking library ladders and bespoke oak shelves? Is there such a thing as too many books? (No.)Bound to provoke (good-natured) debate between Bibliophiles, Shelf Respect is a defence of overflowing shelves and towering piles of unread books... no matter how you choose to organise them.
