Brilliant or bonkers?

Spine-backwards books

“My first thought – how do you find a book?! But, looking at my own collection, it’s mostly books I’ve already read and won’t be picking up again for some time – so actually, for an ordered, neutral and aesthetically pleasing arrangement (or to hide any guilty pleasures), it’s not as crazy as it seems.”

MICHELA COLLING, STYLE EDITOR

“Seeing my favourite books on show is a satisfying reminder of my reading journey, I actually enjoy arranging them by colour – pages out looks too bland for me. I also want to encourage my daughter to browse and pick one up. How do you nosy into other people’s collections if you can’t see the titles?!”
