Another, more general sketchbook I've started opens up with this highly amusing drawing I requested from
rabbi-tom. Both of us absolutely adore books, and Osprey Military History books in particular. So, obviously, there's much sympathy in this drawing for my point of view that "book hoarding" is such an ugly term. The drawing manages to take pokes at Osprey, IKEA, Binney & Smith, my love of editorial cartoon books (another overlap with JG), my love of military field manuals (another overlap), Karl Marx, capital punishment and last, but by no means least,

Bedroom is FULL. Living Room is FULL. Hallway isFULL. Attic is FULL. When I was a teen I started collecting Science Fiction magazines, anthologies and novels. Comic books? Got 'em. Gun books? Hundreds. Technical publications? Oh, yeah. I did an inventory over 25 years ago and I had over 12,000 books then. And people wonder why I prefer digital.
Again, JG was the perfect choice.

That's why I have LibraryThing programmed with all of my books, so I don't get duplicates. When I moved apartments in the same building a few years ago, and moved all the books I was keeping (sob, I had to get rid of some), I found that I had duplicates of some, triplicates of a few, and even one or two quadruplicates. LibraryThing has stopped me repeating that. Your house sounds like a playground, for folks with my sensibilities.
