I have some books which I cannot part - presents bought from now deceased relatives and rare books, but as they so heavy and cumbersome, they are at my parents' home.


I think we should do 'spot the bookcases' like we do with cats, dogs, giraffes etc on this thread...

.

I like that suggestion! But would we find many?

All of my friends have loads of books as do I. I suppose that is a reflection on my social circle rather than society as a whole. But lots of them are boxed away because of the difficulty of storage.

The thing is, a lot of modern places don't have much space for books and when you are selling you know that space sells. So instead of leaving your groaning bookshelves and teetering book piles in view you box them up and hide them from the camera.

Of course, a real bibliophile would buy a property that could accommodate their books as well as themselves: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42842287.html

Me too. But babysitting and househunting, and home visits to clients taught me that we are in the minority

Check out that floor plan!

My house that I've just sold had the bottom half of the lounge given over to books. Without fail, every viewer commented: "blimey, look at all those books!"

And that was after sending a third of my collection to charity to declutter. Took me ages to find another house with enough space to accommodate them.

A Kindle on the coffee table isn't quite the same!
