This video is correct. Another common wrong way is to put books lying down, or pick up the books by the spine, wich tears apart their back cover. Both problems could be avoided by following the tips of this video. Much appreciation from Brazil!
I lie big books like the ones shown flat because otherwise the block of pages has its weight unsupported at the side opposite the binder. This damages and warps the pages and teh binder and is also probably the reason for the discussed splaying
It's not a problem as long as you don't compress the books tightly against each other. I've noticed Patrick leaves a little gap between all his books. I always fit one less book on each shelf than can fit, and then I space the books out evenly along the shelf. This prevents splay.
You shouldn’t shelve large thick books standing upright (unless you have inserts), as the mass of the pages will cause the pages to sag and pull at the binding at the top
i mean... if you dont press them in there like sardines, it should be fine. jsut make sure you have enough space, and you can still have them even in the front.
Better still, just stagger the fronts of the books. After all, some books are the exact same size, and lining up the backs will cause the same problem.
In other words, just push all your books to the rear of your shelf.
That's not right. You can choose how you want to display your books but consider leaving a gap in the back for air flow.
Well said!
The way you said to put your books on the shelf is the way I have been doing it all the time.
Thank you for the informative video. I now need to reconsider my shelving habits.
The good news is that I don’t own books because I never learned how to read.
Did you have someone type this out for you?
Intelligence on two levels here.

Makes sense but what is the situation behind him? 🇦🇺👍🍺

In a minor beneficial addition to this, the uneven depths will help the acoustics of the room by providing more diffraction.
Wow, I never would have considered this.
Thanks ~ Awareness level increased.
I've always done it like this, so never had this problem
Okay, that makes sense! Thanks for the advice!
I prefer to line mine up. I've never had a problem with splay and I've got a ton of EP books.

It's good to know I was doing the right thing already.

Good point. Guess what happens when you group books by similar size…
well, looks like I'll never find out what you think is wrong as I can't hear you.
Looks like the Nonesuch Press shakespeare by your left elbow but only 3/7 volumes?
Volume is too low in this video, advice is excellent.
So if you push the books all the way to the back of the shelf, you are storing them correctly? Because the ends will be all in a single line.
Huh I was actually already doing that. More so out of laziness I suppose

Drat. Still, most of my books are paperbacks.
Don’t shelves your books too tightly.
Thanks!
IMHO
You do realize all the books behind you are lined up right? 😅
...they're very clearly not.
You normalize audio on your videos wrong. Avoid this common mistake.
Who knew??😮
No
Yet the books in the background are "shelved wrong" according to you...... I'm done here
Aligning at the spine doesnt mean its shelved wrong if the length of the books are all the same
Ok, that makes sense. But I still shelve my books to look neat. .. uneven books would drive me nuts. Thanks anyway.
One more thing to think about that I don’t give a shit about.
