This is the list of books organized according to the Dewey Decimal System, a classification system that was originally established by Melvil Dewey in 1876 for the Amherst College library. It has subsequently been adopted by many other public and private libraries in many countries and has stood the test of time as an adaptable system for classifying human knowledge.

To add a book to this classification system, use {{DDC|<CLASS>|<ID>}}.

Where <CLASS> is the Dewey number, rounded to the nearest 100, and <ID> is the specific Dewey number of the book. If you do not know the specific number for the book, you can leave the <ID> field blank.
