TOPIC OF THE WEEK: LIBRARY ORGANIZATION

  Dan Gosling writes: "I am not sure if you have covered these
  topics before but just in case, here goes:"

  [Dan included several sets of interesting questions for our
  readers.  I'll publish them gradually over the next several
  issues.  Here's the first set.  -Editor]

  How should a library be sorted?
       * by author?
       * by topic, then author?
       * by size or color or date of purchase?
       * sort? who has the time to sort the darn things?
       * piled on the floor is more like it - don't others stack
          them on the floor - biggest on the bottom?

  [On this question, my preferred ordering method is first
  by topic, then by author, although in practice within each
  section the books are in a jumble with no particular order.
