Books By Color

AN INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS COBBON GLUE-STICK STATUARY, SPEAKING TO MASHED POTATOES, AND REARRANGING 20,000 BOOKS BY COLOR.

Adobe Bookshop in San Francisco's Mission District, and all of its contents, will be transformed. It will take a crew of 20 people pulling an all-nighter fueled by caffeine and pizza and following a master organizational plan—but come Saturday morning it will be like a place that would only exist in a dream.

This is ultra-cool. I often try to browse in new sections of bookstores. I tend to always find myself in the Biography section, or Education, etc - until somthing catches my eye, and I'm in "new age" or "cooking"... I wonder if I would find a need to buy a book that was "pink" or "persimmon"?
