Right, there is another thread here where we talked about this and I stated for a retail brick and mortar kind of location it works okay-ish, but in the era of stores like Amazon with a gazillion books it completely fails. I prefer a tag based system that you do searches and groupings in. Judging by Amazon's success with the system, and other stores slowly moving to copy it, I do not think I am alone.
