Research questions

Shelving books face front on a shelf of spine-front books reduces information overload by drawing attention to the relatively small number of books shelved face-front. However, increasing the number of books displayed face-front will eventually also produce information overload. What percentage of face-front books produces the highest benefit in circulation?
