W.D. James on Notes from an East Tennessee Farmer

Sounds like we are at similar stages of our book collecting life, but to my wife’s dismay, I haven’t acquired the discipline to limit my purchases to available shelf space- seems to me there is always room to fit in another bookcase somewhere, or some more shelves that could bear up being double stacked, or as a last resort, they can go into more storage boxes in the basement…. Every so often I ‘thin them out’… 50 books in, 10 books with too small print size out.
