    I've done this with my books before - I think it looks great and gives a nice sense of visual cohesion. I otherwise don't like to have books exposed. Nice job!

    Hah! I've debated doing this. Seems like it wouldn't be too annoying if done within a genre but the only genre of books i have that many books in are already colour-coded (mostly O'Reilly).

    The continuous color line/snake is a bit off. The colors probably should be broken up a bit... a la: www.dominomag.com/galleries/objects/furniture/bigstorage/...

    we did that for a while. it looks really cool, but it's impossible to find anything, so we scrapped it for a loose subject organization. this looks great with your volume of books though.

    Juhansonin,
    Great shot. I thought you may like to know I've featured it as this week's
    Bookshelf of the Week over at RobAroundBooks. I featured a similar 'rainbow bookshelf' last month and this is a nice compliment.

    Thanks for sharing it.
    Rob

    fun idea!
    since my book shelf has no organisation other than height
    of the books according to the shelf itself, i might as well
    improve the visual impact of my small library :-)

    Seen on Stitched but no panoramas
