While catching up on other blogs, I came across a mention of a lovely, lovely personal library. I have just asked my boss for a big pay rise so that I can build my own version. This is the obvious answer to my book storage woes. It’s very hard to find a new house when you can only afford tiny places yet both my partner and I have several thousand books. As per the last post, book accumulation is unlikely to abate…ever. I need a library bulding of my very own…hmmm and a budget to purchase some of the items I’d like to add to the collection.

Ha, I knew you’d like that one. You’re so predictable.
Your blog doesn’t know about daylight saving.
how many books do you have, snail? curious :)
I don’t actually know at the moment. I have managed to weed 9 boxes worth though I keep buying at an alarming rate. I’d be guessing a couple of thousand. I still have 3,000 of dad’s though they’ll either go to a secondhand shop or book fair. My partner has a few thousand too :-)
