[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 7651790, member: 2093"] My husband and I are moving in with my recently-widowed mother; this entails merging her book collection (she was a rare book dealer for over 20 years!) and ours - I'm a librarian and we're all 3 avid readers... as you can imagine, it has been a difficult task. Fortunately, the library book-sale takes donations of all kinds. I'm paring down my fiction collection to nearly nothing - as people have said, between ebooks and cheap paperback replacements (plus interlibrary loan!), I don't need to waste the space on physical books for pleasure reading. I've only kept maybe a hundred or so paperbacks, excluding my full collection of Andre Norton; I just can't let those go! Hardbacks (mostly nonfiction) I'm having a slightly harder time with. I think I'll keep most of my medieval history titles, and a few of my other history books. I'm getting rid of most of the science books, as they're either out of date or the library owns copies. I have a BIG shelf full of origami books - those are almost all going to be donated to the library collection itself, as I haven't done any serious folding in years. As far as storage goes; plastic is good, but make sure to include something to protect from mold growth; and books do need to breathe - if they're in airtight containers, they'll yellow and age a lot faster than if they can outgas a bit. Especially paperbacks; the paper has high acid content and gets brittle very fast when trapped in its own fumes. Anyone want a full set of Dragon magazine from about issue 32 onward? only slightly used! :^) [/QUOTE]
