    I sometimes run into interior design pics where books are organized by spine color, and I gasp and clutch my pearls at the heresy.

    …but yes, some people do use books as decorative props instead of as things to be read and enjoyed for their content.

      I get it. I didn’t imagine books could be purely ornamental, but the consensus seems to be that’s not too rare. I personally organise them broadly by genre and theme, so if I have to recommend something to friend I will point at a particular shelf and go “look in there”

      Every IKEA has books all over the place for decor, and they’re all in Swedish.
