Thats a good collection Tillane.

Mine is usually alphabetised and categorised but a certain husband has the tendancy to not put things back in order.

That's a fine collection you have there!

I think once I combine my two collections (home and Exeter collection), they'll take up about as much space as yours, Till. Ah, don't you just love watching your collection grow...Makes me so proud, it does

Very true, Wy. As for watching it grow, Hoopy...well, it's more like watching the floor disappear at the moment.

Dang. Knew I should have moved that one. A remnant from uni. Many years ago...

It'll be 11 years since I graduated in June. Where does the time go?

Never actually tried the baked bean soup. Then again, I'm not sure the book was opened more than twice...

Re: Show us you fantasy/ficiton-bookcollection!

Watch this space. In about another month or so I'll be posting the result of my "efforts" in the new library I've been setting up in the spare bedroom after recently buying my own place.

I have over 1,000 books categorised into 20 different subgenres including the entire SF and Fantasy Masterwork series to date and all World Fantasy Award winners since 1975 plus other delights.....

Everything is pretty much arranged already but I'm working on some "visual extras" for the library.

The library has deep enough shelves for double rows so the potential capacity is around 2,500.

Random grouping of books

The rest of my books (probably about 50) are in my closet due to lack of room, but it is very messy in there so I won't take a photo!
