Foredge shelving

Foredge shelving is like a special way to organize books on a bookshelf so that you can see the edges of the pages (that's called the "foredge"). Instead of just putting the books with their spines facing outward, foredge shelving slants the books so that the foredge is visible and the spine is facing down.

When you look at a book on a foredge shelf, you can see the title and author on the spine, but you can also see a colorful and interesting pattern on the edges of the pages. This can make it easier to find a specific book because you can see the colors and patterns on the edges of the books.

Foredge shelving can be used in libraries, bookstores, or even in your own home to organize and display your books in a fun and unique way!
