This video is correct. Another common wrong way is to put books lying down, or pick up the books by the spine, wich tears apart their back cover. Both problems could be avoided by following the tips of this video. Much appreciation from Brazil!
I lie big books like the ones shown flat because otherwise the block of pages has its weight unsupported at the side opposite the binder. This damages and warps the pages and teh binder and is also probably the reason for the discussed splaying
i mean... if you dont press them in there like sardines, it should be fine. jsut make sure you have enough space, and you can still have them even in the front.
In other words, just push all your books to the rear of your shelf.
The way you said to put your books on the shelf is the way I have been doing it all the time.
The good news is that I don’t own books because I never learned how to read.
Did you have someone type this out for you?
Intelligence on two levels here.

Thank you for the informative video. I now need to reconsider my shelving habits.
Makes sense but what is the situation behind him? 🇦🇺👍🍺

In a minor beneficial addition to this, the uneven depths will help the acoustics of the room by providing more diffraction.
Good point. Guess what happens when you group books by similar size…
Okay, that makes sense! Thanks for the advice!
It's good to know I was doing the right thing already.
Volume is too low in this video, advice is excellent.
I've always done it like this, so never had this problem
So if you push the books all the way to the back of the shelf, you are storing them correctly? Because the ends will be all in a single line.
Huh I was actually already doing that. More so out of laziness I suppose
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix a splayed book?
Book pressing might work
Drat. Still, most of my books are paperbacks.
No
Yet the books in the background are "shelved wrong" according to you...... I'm done here
Aligning at the spine doesnt mean its shelved wrong if the length of the books are all the same
One more thing to think about that I don’t give a shit about.
