Hmmmm . . .
Is your database keeping track of where they currently are, and how many duplicates?

I'll wait a while, then, once many more are in the database I'll check to see what books I'd like to get, and see if you have duplicates. . .

Re: “You will spend the remainder of your life cataloging those things! Laughing”It might seem that way, but I've done over three thousand in a tad over a month. If there are fifteen thousand in total, four more months ought to do it. Probably not the NEXT four months since there are other things that need doing, but maybe over the course of the coming winter.

Then there's the job of figuring out what I want in my "library." That won't be everything. Some of the books are in crappy condition. Some are duplicates. Some are magazines - and I can't see putting magazines - howsoever old - on bookshelves. Some just aren't interesting. Of the current 3,060 catalogued books, 1,310 are Science Fiction. Hundreds of those are magazines. Dozens more are duplicates, a number that should increase dramatically as I get further into this project. I may even find at some point that most of my books are duplicated. If so, I'll pick out the best or most collectible and figure out what to do with the others.

I'll sort through 'em and figure it out. It could take years. But it's also where the database will really prove itself useful.

Finally, there's reading. Now THAT could be for the rest of my life. I hope I never lose my interest in that.T he no no you know where it
