For the little shelvers at the store who can't quite seem to handle shelving the Shakespeare books correctly, here's a little primer.
Shakespeare is generally divided into two parts: commentary and plays (no, sonnets and poems are NOT plays, they go in 'Poetry'). Within each section the books are arranged by title. What that means is the plays are NOT arranged by publisher just because it looks prettier - put them in order by title (and yes, that means the Henrys go in order IV Part I, IV Part II, V, VI Part I, VI Part II, and VI Part III).
For reference, see "Alphabetization of the English Language."
