There's nothing like holding one in your hand, though, and having them around you and at your beck and call. So put that pool table on hold for a while, Chris!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182372734504964782.post-270100739248479772007-02-10T13:57:00.000-08:002007-02-10T13:57:00.000-08:00Do you have ideas on how to catalogue them?

I mysel...I understand the need to have a hard copy. I myself find it difficult to fight the urge to grab a book in a store (usually used book store) that has been made into an LV recording, even if I haven't listened to it! It's silly, I know. We too have been on a book diet, although we don't have nearly so many as you. Our diet is due mostly to the fact that we plan to move again in the future. Hopefully some day we'll have a more permanent home where we can devote a WHOLE room to books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
