Subject: RE: BS: How organised is your home library?
"Organized"??? "Organized???" What's that?

My language-related and other reference books, like the ancient unabridged dictionary, the etymological dictionary, medical dictionaries, are in one book-stand in the livingroom.

Cookbooks (lots and lots and lots and lots) and a few historical type books are in another bookcase in the family room.

Computer-type books and manuals, along with yet more cookbooks, are in a bookcase in the room that serves as my office/computer room with the two computers.

Some more cookbooks and bound copies of years and years of Gourmet magazine, plus some magic books left over from when I was an active magician, are in a bookcase in the garage.

Miscellaneous music books, and juvenile books (quite a bit of the Oz series, as well as Nancy Drew, Wind in the Willows, and on and on) left over from when our grown kids were kids, are in what used to be my daughter's room.

Everything else is in some built-in bookcases in the family room, in no discernible order.

I may be forgetting some locations and some contents. Actually, it's more organized than I thought when I started to type this post.
