To their defence, I must say that their job is not easy. While we all know that a single treelike classification isn't enough and that we need graphs to categorize books, the physical bookshelves on which they present books support only a single dimensional projection of a simple treelike classification! Makes me think that it would be interesting to see if they can take profit of the fact that bookshelves are actually two dimensional but I guess that this would be quite complex to take into account. Eric Karl,
