http://avantgame.blogspot.com/2005/08/mi... reveals this wonderful idea to ensure that Orwell's "1984" is shelved "properly" in bookshops.

From the link:

Unless the Ministry of Reshelving has already visited this bookstore, it is probably currently incorrectly classified as "Fiction" or "Literature."

4. Discreetly move all copies of 1984 to a more suitable section, such as "Current Events", "Politics", "History", "True Crime", or "New Non-Fiction."

5. Insert a Ministry of Reshelving bookmark* into each copy of any book you have moved. Leave a notecard in the empty space the books once occupied.

* available from the site...

I feel this is all rather appropriate, and the Summer season is probably a good time too. Perhaps some of the nicer bookshops will also help in this endeavour, too...
