About meOne of us catalogs books at the library for a living, and the other sells them at the bookstore. And when we get off work we go out and accumulate them for ourselves.
About my libraryAlmost everything was a bargain. So cheap you really couldn't say no.
We use the Expedit shelving from Ikea--the ones divided into big squares. They're deep enough to double-row, tall enough to accommodate a range of sizes, and you can squeeze things into any remaining space along the top of each square.

Hah - you would surely need the lungs of a Right whale to take a deep breathe and re-tag your library. Then again you are in the book biz. But maybe that just makes it more difficult? I'm still stalling. It seems so absurd. I'm thinking of hiring a teenage relative and instructing them just to "get jiggy" with it. Or maybe hiring a migrant worker, and having them do some exotic Magical realism thing with categories like "Siesta-time", "Macho", "Ay-yie-yie" "mucho Gringo" and "a big fish".
Actually, my wife and I may be moving soon, and so I'm considering a hybrid system that has both a category and a box number in one tag. Something like "Incomprehensible Post Modernists - Box 6". That way I could efficiently raid a storage shed or basement, in the event I someday lack shelf space.
Peace,
G

Just logged in my copy of Detroit Is My Own Home Town by Malcolm Bingay. It's been in a box in the basement for a while, in a group of books that used to belong to my parents. Parts of my family have been in Detroit since the late 19th century, and it actually is my own home town. There are only 3 of on LT who own the book. The third member has a huge catalog of Michigan history. So that sort of explains why he has the book, and why I have the book. But it doesn't explain how/why YOU happen to own a copy. I'm just being nosy. Are you from Detroit, or do you just like obscure stuff??
Thanks,
Kathi Phillips

PRANKS---i know a guy who was a very active member of the Cacophony Society, he's also married to Margaret Cho!
ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS-a copy was given to me by a lad from Liverpool, who i met on a kibbutz in Israel. It still had a price sticker in pounds, and he told me that in England it is like their 'own' 'catcher in the rye. lent it to a friend in college---never got it back...
anyway, fabulous taste!!!!
