memelainaTotal number of books in your house:
Many thousands. There is a library upstairs with the fiction, both hardback and paperback that not only has bookshelves against all the walls but two sets of bookshelves making aisles into the center of the room. The library is about 25' x 25'. Then the non fiction are in four huge sets of 6" high shelves in the living room. They cover a wall about 20' long. My husband's technical books are in his office downsatirs, and my collection of Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels books are in a separate bookshelf at the bottom of the stairs. And then there are the stacks of books we are currently reading, and the ones we are going to read soon, and the library books...
