The opposite of Dewey

On a recent trip to England, I noticed some very innovative approaches to categorisation in bookshops. That's not new, of course. My friend Michael, when he ran Norton Street Bookshop, used to have a section called Economics and Astrology, because in his opinion they were equally rigorous in analysis and predicting future outcomes! This section from Forbidden Planet, in Shaftsbury Avenue, is called Paranormal Romance.
