  1. Wow. If this is just part of your library - you have more books than I do - AND - most of them seem to be hard bound (!!!!!!). At one point in time - I worked in a Library - and they would periodically purge the stacks of duplicates - and give the histories to me. I lived in this studio apartment and one whole wall was cabinets below and shelves above. Unfortunately - I had to move and no longer had that much shelving space - so - I donated a lot of my books (boxes and boxes) to local Libraries. Later on - a ship I was working with was going on deployment - and I gave them boxes and boxes of novels, mostly Sci Fi and Fantasy. However - with my career in computers - I then accumulated a LOT of books and magazines on hardware and software. Then there were the Subscriptions I had to the Naval Institute, National Geographic and various and sundry (!!!) Computer Magazines (Byte and PC Magazine) and ... stacks of the news paper Info World ... When I retired - so did my ability to support so many subscriptions and they all went. I've still got rooms full of ... stuff ... though ... Did I mention my storage unit? Boxes of model ships, planes and vehicles ... boxes of notes for my thesis (which cost me a pretty penny to photocopy ...) ... and my drum kit ... Oh ... and then there are all the computers I own ... I don't know how many computers I own ... The oldest goes back to '83 ... and I just bought another one yesterday ... .
