My dad tackled organizing my mom's book collection recently. He was using the 5 shelf units you can buy at Walmart, but found that the spacing of the shelves didn't really suit paperback books. So he bought some lumber and pegs and made additional shelves ... I can't remember if he ended up making them 7 or 8 shelf units. So you might try doing that, seeing as how you have that wonderfully equipped workshop!

It still took something like 32 units, and each shelf holds a double row, but at least now she can find a book if she's looking for it ... eventually.
