Hmm.
Tricky.
If they are faced to the front, it’s easier to see all the titles.
But if they are pushed to the back, that potentially frees up a little bit of space onto which one could stack more books.
Such a dilemma.

Same. I was like,
“Who has enough shelf room that that’s a question?” ?

Both my bookcases have double rows of books and I still don’t have enough space for all of them.

Which one appeals to you more…I do both, start from the back, it allows me to put much more books on my shelves.

Back, then double stack when needed….. but at work (in the library) they are at the front for ease of access 🙂
