Heritage has the same set up with it's books and I find that really interesting to browse

One interesting sidelight is, when you are at the first web page for the Family History Archive (the page that lets you begin a search), click on the "Browse the Collection" button.
This will display every Family History book that has been digitized and is available in the collection.
