Here’s a roundup of an idea we love: bookshelves with books arranged by color, in both private homes and public spaces. Use what you already have to create a whole new look for a room.
Above: Chris Cobb, a San Francisco artist, organized the entire stock of Adobe Bookshop in SF by color as an art installation. See more photos at Flickr.

interesting, but i'd never be able to find anything arranged by color.
Interesting post. I like arranging my by subject, though.
not very practical for use. maye for an office: different collored maps for organisation. it gives a happy feeling
but very nice visual: walls of art
No it doesn't work for me.
I rather sort them by subject, and keep the colours chaotic!
As someone who works in a library & has a vast love of books this idea seems to me to negate actually reading your books but rather to just have them for show. I, for one, want to read my books & will continue to keep mind by subject & author so I can easily find old favourites to reread.
