I have thousands of books. Yes, I will cull the herd a little for this move. However, there will still be thousands of books that will need to be packed. I hate that part.
I do like unpacking them, though (probably should have been a librarian). I can spend hours organizing books. In the old shelves, I had them set up by genre. This time I think I'll go for alphabetical by author. Or maybe just by size. The first would make the books easier to find. The second would make it all look so much prettier. Sigh.
Here are my ideal bookshelf photos. Help me decide which way to go.
Really? You have all those shelves and can't fill them? Amateur.

I've seen people put covers over all of their books. I just don't have time for that.

Libraries need fireplaces, that's for sure. I like the one with the steps, though, because it eliminates the need for a ladder. I wonder if it would work in a spiral shape to save space?
