you have 2 options of customers.

You have the 'man' where they know exactly what they want; meaning they'll have the number and boom...they're heading directly.

or they have the 'woman' where they have a basic idea but wanna browse and see so you've now put them in the philosophy section and they can find whatever they want.

Responses:

The thing is, the level of specificity can't be consistent because some sections are very much larger than others. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:32
The sections are pretty big, though. The 600s might take hours to look through, if you scanned all the shelves. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 12:31 4
- make the signs specific enough to cover one aisle. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:36 2
  - Not possible, when (for instane) the 700s end and the 800s begin in the same range. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 12:38 1
    - God mara, you have tooooo many books if you can't just leave blank space between the 7s and 8s. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:40
- Buy more signs, use your judgment.....but don't make it so minute that you've hosed yourself - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:35
