I'm with you on this one Fred.  I hit the bookstore about the 10th day
of the month to pick up the new releases in paperback.  I finally bought
a pair of bookcases from a bookstore going out of business (because of
hugh stores).  My only problem is that I didn't buy enough!  I've got a
basement full of boxes of both hb and pb with no where to put them so I
can re-read all those goodies from 15 to 20 years ago.  :(
I know that somewhere I have all of Philip Wylie and Ayn Rand's books,
but darned if I can find them.  I did find all of the W.E.B. Griffen
books and I'm in the middle of reading them again.
One of these days I'll luck out and find more bookshelves at low prices
and I'll put all the books where I can find them!
