What do you store your books in?

I lucked out around 2001 and found the "perfect" soloution to my traveling gaming needs while in a farm supply store. Plano was discontinuing a tool case made of nylon fabric over hard plastic with steel reinforcement, wheels, and a collapsible handle. I picked up 3 of them. They are 24" tall, 15" wide, and 11" deep with a top and bottom compartment.

In my D&D bag right now I have 20 assorted hardback books, my Tact-Tiles, wire templates, dice bag, 4 wire bound notebooks, 3 pads of graph paper, 10 or so assorted folders, and a few miniatures. The only real problems I have is that when I pick it up it weighs a ton, and my cats like to sharpen their claws on it, so it looks like its made of frayed rags.

I can also fit all of my D&D miniatures, in their planos inside a second bag.

i store mine in a bookcase. its a fairly old invention consisting of vertal shelving units compiled into 1 "case" with multiple shelves . . .

However, with my ever growing collection, it is getting harder to find a good-quality container. So, I was wondering what/where fellow EN-World'ers store their books in.

A bookshelf. But one note: don't store anything that's archival in a plastic container. As they age and 'off-gas', they release acids that are hell for books. This isn't a problem for anything recent, but if you own any really old rpgs (like from the '70s) printed on the crappy paper typical of the period, it's best to contain them in an archival-grade cardboard box. The same, btw, is true of both painted and untreated wood shelving.

Yep, it's a pain being a conservator
