This space displays a scatterplot of books where similar books are closer together. Color is used to further distinguish groupings.

The "tag cloud" (far left) displays frequency distribution. More frequently used tags receive a larger font.

The "tag shadow" (big box with dots) attempts to capture that frequency distribution in a more visual medium. Try and embrace the "cloud" metaphor and imagine shining a light through the above "tag cloud." Effectively what I've done is shine that light from a whole bunch of different dirrections and found the most interesting shadows. I've then plotted the 2 most useful shadows against each other.

If you click on one of the tags to the left, all the works associated with that tag will be highlighted. Clicking the tag again will toggle the highlighting.
