The difference between the 3.5 PH and PHII drove me nuts. They design the PHII to look like one of the Complete Books. The same goes for the 3.5 DMGII. I still cringe everytime I see my 3.5 Races of Eberron sitting next to the rest of my 3.5 Eberron collection. (Why WotC?! WHy?!?!?! The original cover was beautiful!) .-= Kristian´s last blog ..Hellfrost Review, Part III: Bestiary =-.

Dude, you should see my graphic novels. They’re in the same condition.

Sadly, this level of OC-ness would be more socially acceptable if you replaced "D&D books" with "graphic novels." .-= Matthew Arcilla´s last blog ..This Hobby Is Not a One-Way Relationship =-.

All right, I’ll say it. You’re crazy! You’re a loon! Detective Monk is your mentor!

But , then again, there is nothing wrong with that either. To each his own, I say.
As for me, I don’t keep my books on a shelf, so they aren’t in any particular order.
CHAOS RULES!!

*Whew!* That’s a relief to know I’m not the only crazy one out there. I may follow this up with another one showing the rest of my shelf and the reasoning behind it.

Not crazy at all. That's pretty much the same order as mine. .-= Hammer´s last blog ..What’s That Coming Over The Hill? Is It A Model? =-.

I always organize mine by subject matter.

On the far left are player resources – PHB 1 & 2 (soon 3) and the Power books (alphabetically, of course). Next is the Dragonborn race book.

Right of this is the in-between books. Things that are meant for both players and DMs. The Adventurers Vaults are here and I imagine there will be a few others in the future.

In the center are DM “crunchy” books. Monster Manuals dominate this section, along with the printed adventures and Dungeon Delve. I haven’t picked up the Giants super adventure yet but I hear it’s good.

To the far right are the DM “fluffy” books. Dungeon Master Guides are located here, along with the campaign guides. The exception to my normal order is that the FRPG and EPG are kept next to their campaign counterparts.
