do you arrange your bookshelves?

Librarians love order. We cant help it. It's written into our DNA. The rest of our lives maybe chaos, but it's comforting to know that 636.6 always comes after 636.59 on our shelves.

There are those few folks who go that one step further though. For instance, these anal types over at Things Organised Neatly. (I must admit though, the orderly-ness and tidiness of some of these pics does send my Librarian 2 hearts racing!)

You can really go all-out though...

Then again: Hit a pothole or some air turbulence in the BookTARDIS, and the books can all end up like this:

:S

what the...? is that...?

Had a 'no-one's on the Bookmobile...bored bored bored' moment today, so started thinking up alternative book titles based on cover illustrations in the Mystery Romance section...

eg:

 "The Splitting Headache" by G. Miheadsore.

Anyway... Usually the covers of these Large Print serials feature poorly executed water colour renditions of scenery/people, or poorly executed CGI'd creations, that look more like reject avatars from Second Life or The SIMS.

eg:

Anyway, so I'm flicking through the covers and suddenly...

"That's Felicity Jones...!"

Don't believe me...?

So I scrabbled through some more, and there was Keira Knightley!

Do you think they know thair pictures are being used this way? Do you think there's others...?

vague and nebulous
