German books have the orientation of the writing on the spine flipped. I don't like storing books upside down, so it makes a mess in my mixed English and German bookshelf.

There's a language-wide order in Germany of direction the of writing on the spines of a books?

I just checked my bookshelf and my books go both ways.

Ah. I just checked, and while all the English ones seem to have a consistent orientation, the German ones indeed don't. Never noticed, huh...
