It's a viable system for certain types of use cases. Unfortunately, any
system that sorts books "by the author's last name" comes with inherent
limitations. Suppose you have N bookcases dedicated to authors whose
last name starts with an "H". Everything is fine as long as your library
is static or close to it. Then you discover that you absolutely love D.
K. Holmberg (https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?200173) and/or Nathan
Hystad (https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?249647) -- to pick two
random prolific authors -- and suddenly you have a problem.

My own SF books are randomly but grouping all by a particular author
together. Thus a one  hit wonder can take a LONG time to find...but
that's what I do with other works in my collection: Solzhenitsyn,
Churchill, 300+ chess books.

I have a binary system. My favourites and the rest. My favourites go into one corner, and then there's the rest. The disadvantage is that sometimes I buy a book I already own, but the good ones I can locate in the favourites corner.
Oh, and I do have an academic section as well with favourites from my university days as well as economics and philosophy books.
