[QUOTE="schneeland, post: 8942017, member: 6900337"] I have stopped collecting a few years ago and have already sold half of my books. That was partly in response to my own shift to digital (both for reading and for playing), partly due to the fact that I slowly realized I actually don't enjoy collecting anymore. Personally, I have identified a small number of books that I definitely want to keep (about one Kallax section, two if we also count Lonewolf adventure books). Those are, for the most part, collectors editions or systems that I enjoyed or that influenced me in the last ten years. Admittedly, there is a large chunk of books that I haven't sold because I have no digital version (German translations from 90s and 00s), but they too will have to go at some point. So the general advice would be to do a kind of Marie Kondo-thing and see what books really bring you joy by just having them or looking at them in your shelves. Everything else you could probably rank according to how much the thought of not having it anymore troubles you and how easy it would be to buy it back if you feel you made a mistake afterwards (e.g. collector's editions, rare books of old or autographed copies would probably get a higher score than widely printed books from older editions of D&D). And then you can start parting with the ones that have the lowest score. [/QUOTE]
