The '''Cutter Expansive Classification''' system is a [[library classification]] system devised by [[Charles Ammi Cutter]]. It uses all letters to designate the top categories of books. This is in contrast to the [[Dewey Decimal Classification]], which uses only numbers, and the [[Library of Congress classification]], which uses a mixture of letters and numbers. The system was the basis for the top categories of the Library of Congress classification.
"No one, perhaps, can remember it all; it cannot be learned, even in part, very quickly; but those who use the library much will find that they become familiar in time unconsciously with all that they have much occasion to use."
from ''How to Get Books'' by C. A. Cutter, 1882
