Well, for one, Bert, the pickin's are slimmer here; although one way I've managed to keep from doing too many is to stay away from the library sale!! It took a lot of discipline and moving one too many times. This next move needs to be the easiest for us both; that translates to lightening the load!

I still have all of the old hardback precious ones, will always have them, just not adding to the pile as much. When I buy something contemporary, I generally pass it on or trade it in at the used bookstore.

I know it seems odd to me and I suppose if we ever figure out just where we want to sink in some roots I will probably add a few more gems.

LR Mole, that's a good one. The book I mentioned above doesn't have an index; but if I come across that quote in it, I'll post the book it is out of.

Naes, that's my dream library! Even the brandy, even though I never touch the stuff...just for guests ya know?!
