Stairs are good for stacking books. There's still plenty of room to get past, and the stacks are all neatly sorted in levels.
MRAS filing systems (Multiple Random Access Stacks) also have the advantage that the most recently accessed are usually near the top, so are faster to locate. Of course extracting something from lower down can cause a system crash and a re-hashing of the indexing order...
