Marnie, I know exactly what you mean. But in my photo book collection I know what's good and what's not, and I tend to want bad books out of the collection. I've donated a lot of books to local libraries over the years. > I know, because only with great difficulty can I force myself to get rid of a > book. (I just unearthed a box of Apple IIc manuals and how-to-program Apple > Basic books the other day.) Ha. Yeah, I do that too. The thing is, with most books, the price you can realize when you sell them is so much less that what it would cost to replace them, that it often just seems prudent to keep them. Still, I've done a fair amount of weeding lately. My whole library is down to less than 2k volumes for the first time in years. Trouble is, every time I weed things out, I also go on buying sprees. <s> --Mike
