Left-to-Right, Top-to-Bottom

Now, if you're having trouble finding your book on the shelf,
remember this rule for
how the books are shelved:

left-to-right, top-to-bottom


That means you start at the left on the top shelf
and move to the right
until the shelf ends.

Then, you go to the next shelf beneath that
and do the same,
left to right, top to bottom.
