Well, in a mystery section, it must be a mystery which book you are getting. Seeing the spine with the title just gives the ending away prematurely (or am I missing something else about the picture?)
Another good one is one I saw on the net that had a section label “Religious Fiction”. Tautology.

Yes… Mystery… makes sense. very neat too. and funny.
Not sure I would consider it practical though. Or actually I am sure about its practicalness…
I’ve worked with geniuses like that before.

You’re just no fun!!
this would mean that it would be made hard for the fans/readers of Mystery books to quickishly fund the books of their prefered authors. perhaps that would assist browsing. but more perhaps it would reduce sales. i remain puzzzled by this marketting method
