Buy photo boxes--they usually they cost $2 or so at a crafts store like Michael's and come in a wide variety of patterns and colors. Mass-market paperbacks fit inside perfectly with spines up--usually 15 or so to a box. The boxes have a space for a label, so you can easily categorize the contents. You can stack the boxes two high on a shelf. In this way, you can get about 30 paperbacks or more in the space that otherwise accommodates only maybe 10 and keep them neat, easily accessible, and color-coordinated.
