I found a source for Japanese pattern books including Pattern Magic. It is only 5 miles from my house. <a href="http://badmomgoodmom.blogspot.com/2007/08/there-is-no-place-like-home.html" rel="nofollow">http://badmomgoodmom.blogspot.com/2007/08/there-is-no-place-like-home.html</a> But no more books for me until I organize my shelves.

The first half relates the maths of origami to fractal theory, Zen philosophy, music and more. I'm too clumsy and impatient to actually fold a jousting knight or rattlesnake, but the process is beautiful. I also have an abundance of books, but my organisational strategy is at at odds with my husband's so we've both given up and now just ask where the book currently resides.

You were very kind to encourage me to become a vegetarian, a few weeks ago, and I have been pondering your comment ever since. Regarding books, I know there are books one's got to have, especially reference books for work. That being said, I have also made some drastic changes in that regards, and made a point to avoid buying new books if at all possible. I have rediscovered the pleasure of weekly visits to the local library, and when I do buy a book, I make sure to circulate it to as many of my friends as possible! Kathleen,

The Readerware program sounds cool, too. I live in a tiny duplex that's like an apartment with a yard, so I don't have a ton of space for bookshelves and a lot of books are in the attic. However, my father-in-law is going to put shelves up on the walls just above the tops of the doors and windows (but all the way around the rooms) in nearly every room. I suppose I'll comment on the results after they're up and I have actually put stuff on them. It's too cluttered here and hopefully that will at least solve some of it. Thanks, Kathleen.

I love organizing things. I had to blog this (and of course link back to your site) since there are a lot of book lovers on the blog I contribute to who I'm sure can use this information. Thanks!

This entry is the answer to my chaos. Thank you-it couldn't be more timely!

What an awesome system!!! Brillant! I only have three shelves of books related to sewing. I have them organized by type of sewing (ie., heirloom, home dec, adult garment, children garment, sewing machine manuals, techniques, etc.). It would be overkill for me to organize them other than the way I'm doing it...however, I'm thinking this barcode scanner and some type of software could be useful perhaps with those who have an extensive pattern collection...what about fabric? You could use the manufacturer's product number, etc....the possibilities are endless...LOL it's nice to see I'm not alone with my organization obsession! With friendship, Lisa drool!!!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one um... "passionate" about organization and books. When I was little I proceeded to catalog my grandma' library to the last book- by hand, no computers, just one big, heavy notebook (extensive task)- it was around the time I caught the bug of reading, it was summertime and I was sorting, grouping, and making lists! By author (the fiction books), by author nationality, language, time period, topic, publishing date, etc. Then I put a loan/ lend out system in place so I could keep track of what friend or neighbour borrowed which book (you know how things get "forgotten"). Oh, memories... I know we have computers and the Internet, but I love books. And now if you'll excuse me, I have the urge to organize- anything! Oh my God, drooolll….
