How do you organize your spellbook?

As a WIZ I have mine set up as follows;

Pages:
1-2: Direct Damage Nukes by level keeping only the best of each type (Fire/Cold/Magic)
3-4: PBAEs, Targeted AEs, and Rains (again by type)
5-6: Miscellaneous Spells like Yonder/Gate/Snare/Root/Annul Magic/Bind Sight etc
7-8: Buffs
9-10: Self-only Gates
11-12: Portals

Page 1 /2 = stuff I use all the time (heals, rezzes, IVU, buffs, gate, bind, root).

The rest are in groups by type -- lulls, stuns, nukes, resist buffs, cures, undead, summoned, AE, roots / fear, misc crap. With old unused heals and buffs way at the end.

I'm also fussy enough to have my lower level spells on the bottom and highest on top of each row.

I never did use the "load spell by type" from the UI because I could /book 5 to get to resists more quickly then I could meander through that menu.

First 2 pages - Spells I use all the time
Next 4 pages - Stuff I use occasionally
The rest - Crap I never use, low level spells, etc.

This.

bumping since spell sets have been removed with the last patch. I think my current by-level arrangement needs an update.

Make use of the /book command. You can set up social buttons with names, and set the button to that book's page. So if I want to give a port, the command would be /book 7 to open to page 7. etc.

As I outgrow a spell, I will put it on page 50 and work my way back. I never put the lower nukes back there, because there is a chance you will be looking to scale your damage instead of overkill of a higher mana nuke.

But to answer the question:
1-2 is my primary loadout
3-4 is misc stuff I use periodically (EB, Lev, Invis, resist buffs)
5-6 self ports
7-8 group ports
9-? everything else

I like this, might steal it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^ solid set-up / advice

I never used [click gem] to scribe spells and [spell sets] until waaay later (i was late to the party)
even when i started using these features i never lost my desire to keep my books organized and in order.
in the same fashion as Rasah describes

I pretty much have everything i use often on the first 4 pages, all buffs together, everything for cc together. I also have a few pages for "junk-spells" all the spells that have been outdated and i wont use ever again, those are at like page 20+ . Everytime a spell gets upgraded i put the old one to the junk spells so i dont have to worry about them.

But i miss spellsets anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I put the songs I use most often at the front.. the rest at the back. I rarely have to flip a page.

[Daldaen]

As a Druid...
1st page = fire + ice nuke, superior + greater healing, ensnare + root, sow + gate.
2nd page = magic dot + fire dot, single + group regen, skin buff + coat buff, wolf form + strength

Etc.

1st 5 pages include damage spells (single, AOE, Rain), dots, heals, buffs (speed, hp, regen, str, resists, lev, eb), snare, root, gate+egress, charm+animal tash+fear, summon food/water
Pages 6 and 7 are all my port spells. The rest is just backfilled when I get new spells
