File War and Peace under Taupe

There are many ways to organize your library. You can be boring and sort by topic or by author's last name. Personally, I have sorted my books by the order in which they were purchased. We have a friend who spent an entire weekend organizing her extensive library by ISBN number. For Mac users, there is some nifty software that will allow you to create virtual bookshelves at the click of a button.

But now, San Francisco artist Chris Cobb has literally elevated the cataloging of books to an art form. For one week, the books of the Adobe Bookshop in San Francisco will be sorted by color. The result is truly stunning,...but good luck finding anything.

Mom says..."Why would anyone do that???"
My response To much time on their hands they should read a book.
