How do you store your 7 inches?

I am approaching being out of space for where I have 7"s stored now and have to look at new solutions. So I was wondering how do you guys store them? shelves, boxes etc. Left to right(like books) or front to back how they are often displayed in stores?

I store all my records in beer/whiskey cases standing up.

I probably don't have nearly as many as you guys but I just have mine set up like books in my cabinet under my player. Personally I think having records set up like books is just the easiest way to have them set up as long as you keep them in alphabetical order. Then again, 7" records don't typically have the artist and album displayed on the spine. I guess front to back for 7"

Yeah currently they are on a shelf setup like books. Which works fine for LPs and 10"s because you can read the spines but has proven to be a pain for the 7"s. I was thinking about putting them in boxes and put those boxes on the shelf, but it seems like there has to be some better ideas.

That seems like it'd be a bit cluttered and difficult to find each record. I really don't know. I think just a shelf with bars all the way around it to keep them from falling and stacking them back to front would be your best bet.
