Comparing C3 with Dewey

In our C3 presentations, we use the bestselling Dewey The Small-Town Library Cat as an example of how C3 compares to Dewey.
The Dewey number for Dewey is 636.800929 MYR
The C3 number for Dewey is LF 1910 MYR

Another example we us is The Audacity of Hope
The Dewey number is 973.04960730092 OBAMA
The C3 number is BI 5171 OBAMA

We launched C3 with the intent of improving customer access to nonfiction.
A secondary goal was to improve the efficiency of material-handling. We have learned that we under-estimated the impact of Dewey's long numbers on our daily operations.
