Indeed. I started using removable labels and word processor-based
catalogs some decades ago. As an added bonus, you can fit more books
into a bookcase if you separate hardcovers/trade paperbacks from mass
market paperbacks, then double-stack them. A balanced mix of bindings
can accommodate 700-800 books per bookcase.

Of course, e-books and e-readers have changed the equation over the last
10-20 years, but that's a whole different can of worms.

Hijacking the thread...
What software do you (or anyone else reading this) use to organize your
collection? [snip-snip]
Basic word processing software like Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer or even Notepad scales up reasonably well. It doesn't support bar-code based automation, but it's straightforward, flexible and compatible with Kindle/other e-readers.
On the e-book side, Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/) is a very nice tool. Perhaps the UI is not as polished as what a major company might be able to do, but it's very powerful. It also comes with lots of useful add-ons like FanFicFare, which lets you create (and automatically update!) ebooks from Web serials hosted by RoyalRoad, SpaceBattles, AO3, etc.
I have Calibre and it is a good program. The only problem
with it is that there is no longer any way to break the Kindle
coding, so it can't handle Kindle books. I do use it when I
digitize books, because it makes it easy to convert text from
a word processor to EPUB. Then it can be sent do any device
that has a program that can read EPUB (tablet, phone, or whatever).
