That's really nice. Good job. One thing though... My OCD wants you to put your titles in alphabetical order. All OCD aside it's a beautiful thing.
I was thinking that, too. The librarian in me wanted them in order by title but the other part of me wanted them in order of publication. LOL
My method makes this whole conundrum very easy; just sort them by size. Tallest to smallest, left to right. And if you have gargantuan books or weirdly shaped ones, they go on the bottom shelf. (or in a closet) I also drag smaller books forward to create a nice, uniform "facing" when you look at the shelves head on. It's a very neat and orderly look for a living room. 
And I love your collection! Do my eyes deceive me, or are there a lot of first editions there?

I know what you mean, but I'm OCD the other way- DT books together, and the colors of the spines have to be grouped together.

Thank you. I have first editions but some of the older titles like Salem's Lot, The Shining and Firestarter are all book club editions. Also, I've acquired my entire collection from thrift stores and library sales.
My OCD likes chronological order. Same for LP.
Very nice! I have mine all in chronological order.
...who the hell is King, and why do you have your bookshelf all junked up with his stuff????.....
Put em in any which way....my disordered mind says.
Very nice collection! This was probably a lot of work to acquire them all, but it seems to have been worth the effort.
