You might find this is not as useful as you first think. Navigating through 200 shelves will be slow, it would probably be much faster just to search on the author's name, which will bring up a list of all the books by that author -- pretty much the same as a shelf, but without all the work of creating the shelves.

Shelves for author or series are a bit redundant as both of these terms are searchable. Genre or other properties that can't be searched for are better uses for shelves (IMHO of course).
