Organising books for aesthetics rather than access! - I particularly like, and by like, I mean, cringe, at the following: 8. Any fun ways of organizing cookbooks so they don’t get messy in the kitchen?
Stack them according to size with the biggest on the bottom, like a pyramid, or if you are storing them vertically, put similar heights together. You don’t have to get crazy about it, but the neater you can keep it the better it will look.
Presumably you are not using the things to cook with, perish the thort?
