I am in the process of culling my books---about 10 years ago I actually cataloged them and had an excess of 1000--I have since accumulated many, many, many more.
I love my books, but I am getting a little claustrophobic-Stacks of books-GOOD CLEAN HARDBACKS and some VERY NICE PAPERBACKS.
I find it so hard to part with all my books. I have bookshelves all over the house! Each room has different types of books! There are lots of books on Ebay, in fact, I have bought some! Just recently bought "nature's little wonders: Bees" for my "Simply Bee" badge! I couldn't find it on Amazon, so I turned to Ebay--and there it was.

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who collects book. However living in a fairly small house I have no choice but to clean them out every once in awhile. Last week I had to donate, give away or offer up for barter over 100 cook books.
