It is admittedly pretty noisy, which is somewhat intentional because the focus was on high data density. Here's an a bit more minimalistic view (less color, only one text level simultaneously):

It could probably be tweaked further to not show some of the texts (the N publishers part), less stuff on hover, etc.

It's ok. Not an issue, since it was meeting the request of the competition, not some commenter on the web.

On the data density part, actually noticed there's most of the covers for the books too, which was kind of a cool bit. Not sure if it's feasible, yet would be neat to show them as if they were the color of their binding in their pictures.

Makes me almost want a Skyrim style version of this idea, where they're all little 3D books on their 3D shelves, and you can wander down the library isles by sections. Click a book like Skyrim and put it in your inventory or similar. Thought this mod [1] especially was one of the coolest community additions to Skyrim when it came out. Also in the "not sure if it's feasible" category.

That's a really nice view! Made me think of this map of IP addresses arranged as a Hilbert curve i saw in this Tom7 video: (the rest of the video is wildly good if you haven't seen it) https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio?si=wzFq4p61qYmpT59x&t=360
