How to play: Drag the books left and right until they are in alphabetical order by author.
How to read an author's name: In this game, the surname is the LAST part of the name. Everything before it is the forename(s) or initials. For example, David Barclay Moore → David Barclay = forenames, Moore = surname. J. R. R. Tolkien → J. R. R. = initials, Tolkien = surname.
Difficulty increases: each shelf uses different books; later shelves include similar surnames, authors sharing the same first three letters, and authors with the same surname.
Think: SURNAME → first name/initial. You do not need to identify or type a three-letter shelf code.

Library shelving rules used in this game:
- Find the surname first: it is the last part of the author's name. For example, David Barclay Moore → Moore.
- Compare authors by surname from A → Z.
- If surnames are identical, compare the authors' first names/initials.
- Titles do not determine the order when arranging these fiction books.
