Colour my bookshelf (absolutely not about James Frey)

Ever walked into a bookstore and noticed that one of the employees was getting cute with the endcaps — devoting one of them entirely to yellow-covered titles, for instance? In the fall of 2004, San Francisco’s Adobe Bookshop took that approach to the extreme by hosting an installation called “There Is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World” — 20,000 books arranged specifically by colour.
