Eva has been quite a busy bee
and sorted all our books on the first floor, which is a significant fraction of our total physical books! Alas, she sorted by author's first name, and both her mom and I agree we'll have to redo it. (Eva was really annoyed by this and insisted it shouldn't matter. Well, at least it's sorted in some fashion now.)
On the subject of books, if you happen to like middle grade fantasy I must say I've been pretty happy with the books published as "Rick Riordan Presents" thus far.

I guess... looking up books by author's first name isn't actually harder than looking up by surname (assuming there's few enough unusual cases you get to know them individually). But I agree I would find it very confusing.

As for those attitudes, if only they'd finish dying off! But no, they're still lumbering around and sometimes I think new ones have sprung up, like the heads of a hydra.
