Does anyone else remember finding wonderful new authors by browsing the 'mystery' or 'science fiction' or whatever section for hours?
My library sorts them by author but puts a little picture sticker on the spine denoting what genre it is. Rocket ship for SF, magnifying glass for mystery, that type of thing.
