Better still would be to have the Morgan Libary in NYC as my own private library! My wife keeps asking me when I am going to stop buying books. We have about 70 odd bookcases in the house. There are one or more (usually considerably more) bookcases in almost every room of the house. We are just about done refinishing a nice 3-section 8 foot high mahogany bookcase that a retiring down the hall from my office gave me. I do have some high ceilings, but I have not gone over eight feet yet. LOL! I did just get a book re bibliomania, among other things. My daughter is making noises about how I shouldn't buy books. Yeah, right. I am somewhat pleased to find that I have some duplicates though. Maybe I will sell them. Or trade them. -- Jean B. |

Yes, I have been culling out duplicates with the so far announced intention of selling them. They have made it - so far - to boxes in alphabetical order. No immediate plans to sell them, however. -- Francis A. Miniter In dem Lande der Pygmäen gibt es keine Uniformen, weder Abzeichen, noch irgend welche Normen, Und Soldaten sind dort nicht zu sehen.

Yes, I am culling the duplicates, but I expect it will be quite some time before I get any farther with this. I was quite worried about getting all of one category of books into three huge bookcases, so I was actually pleased to find those duplicates! -- Jean B. |
