On Arranging Books By Colo(u)r: "Our bookshelves often take up a good deal of space in the places we live and work, and organizing them by color transforms them from a banal backdrop into a poppy, rainbow-colored focal point."> Includes some treatment of book-arrangement as Art.

Audioblog -- Short Stories To Go (do let it load first, the interim colourscheme might distress you). I happened across this site while in search of online short stories by Tatyana Tolstaya, like 'Serafim'. Yes, still working on story recommendations for a friend.

On Arranging Books By Colo(u)r

There is (or was) a charity shop in Banbury that did just this - shelf of blue, shelf of red, shelf of white etc.

Did look rather attractive.

I recall mocking the charity shop in Greenwich that did this. But it does look good ... not sure that (as per illustration in that blog) it really counts as Art, though!
