Hi, can I submit a feature request to show a book's classification codes (DDC/LCC) on its details page when available, alongside the ISBN?

For me this is a handy way to physically shelve my books because it naturally puts categories next to each other. But, finding the codes for each book to shelve it is a pain. Having it visible in my EYB shelf would be handy.

Thanks!

One method to find the DDC/LCC classification numbers is to join Librarything.com (free membership). When you add your books to your collection, it includes the DDC & LCC numbers. You can also sort your books by DDC or LCC, if that is helpful.

Once you have your books organized, you could follow my library's practice (for patrons): make a cheat sheet with the general categories and their call number ranges (i.e. meat, vegetables, cooking by region/ethnicity; baking).

My books are organized by LCC, for the same reason you give.

lkgrover, great tip, thank you! Librarything, here I come.
