First I spend all that money on books to begin with. Then I need to spend more money to have enough bookshelves. The next step is surely buying a bigger house, now that I'm out of room for new book shelf units.

I've been to the furniture stores today to look for bookshelves. The "solid woods" are thin boards with laminates. I couldn't find anything made of single thick boards. I'm sure these will all bow with time and they are not cheap. I have to keep looking.

I am trying to read as much as I can and then give the books away. Lately, my son has threatened to put me in long term care if I give away anymore of his legacy.

I sure wouldn't mind owning one of these libraries, though I have a sneaking suspicion we'd find a way to fill them with astro books soon enough! http://www.beautiful-libraries.com/3000-5.html Post Extras:       Sarkikos Postmaster Reged: 12/18/07 Loc: Suburban Maryland, USA Re: Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas [Re: turtle86]       #5601097 - 01/02/13 11:34 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   A few years ago I counted all my books. At that time, I had over 4000! And this is in a small, two-story condo. But I really can't (shouldn't) move because there are good schools here for my daughter and my mom lives in the next court. The best method of finding more room for new books is to get rid of some of the ones you already have. Sell them or give them to charity. I've given away hundreds of books in the last few years. Why hang on to what you don't need? Nostalgia is not always a healthy emotion.

One day I just started putting boxes on the sidewalk (we lived in a high traffic neighbourhood) with a "Free books" sign. Over the next few hours a bit of a party atmosphere developed as I kept bringing down boxes...sometimes they ever cheered! I sell books for a living, and the sight of so many people so excited for my books really was wonderful. It was worth much more than the pittance that a used book dealer might have given me. Out of 26 boxes put out, only 4 remained when the recycling truck came. The great thing is, I use the books I kept much more now, because they aren't surrounded by books for which I no longer have an interest. BTW, I kept ALL of my astronomy and ATM books.

They were everywhere: shelves, tables, stacks on the floor. One day she said, "Books are ruining our lives." We took boxes and boxes of them to the library and some we thew out. It felt wonderful. This was five years ago, and once again, books are beginning to ruin our lives. Time for another BIG purge.

But many remain to be resold here at a very reasonable price. (Maybe those books aren't suitable for foreign schools and libraries?) I intend to box up a lot of my books and give them to that charity. It's called B.I.G. (Books for International Goodwill). They take good care of the books given to them. I have given books to the regular Goodwill (NOT B.I.G.), but I did not like the way their workers treated books that were donated. Books should not be thrown around and dumped into big boxes. I wish I hadn't seen that. I probably won't donate books to Goodwill again.
