One day, when I inherit the Globe Wernickes, they'll go in those (less dusting). I know my brother won't want the GWs, he never reads! |

My mum says I have too many books but I maintain that I simply don't have enough bookshelves. |

I used to hide all my GO books in a cupboard, or, when I lived alone, in the cupboard under the sink in the bathroom, but eventually my boyfriend found some Malory Towers books out and asked me what they were. Now he knows all about the Chalet School--we had bowls of cafe au lait at a cafe this morning, and I said, "This is what they drink at the Chalet School!"

Sounds like me, hiding them from the SLOC. But then I reasoned - he reads a lot of crap, especially sci-fi-cheese, and doesn't care, so why should I care about reading some beautifully written stories? |

My SLOC knows all about the supreme importance of the Chalet School and has been ordered to keep an eye out for books at every opportunity - he even spotted a hb of New House with dj in a book shop once.
He's even read my drabble - I have trained him well! |

What's a Globe Wernicke please? |

Another thing I was wondering, which is inspired by KB selling her paperbacks and listing the style of them, is whether people are interested in acquiring collections of all styles that were published. I am and want affirmation that I'm not OCD! I have almost no interest in reading the paperbacks anymore, because of their cutted-ness, but still collect them. Why?! |

Scroll down to near the bottom of the page, they have a small one illustrated there. Glass fronted, so no book dusting required, hurrah! They come in modules, each shelf is self contained, so you can build them up as high as you like, and the top and bottom parts are separate too. |

The glass doors can be a bit tempramental, but oh, the saving of dusting! |

Have to admit that my CS books fill an entire bookcase (5 shelves!!) but that's coz I discovered ebay in a big way and had to own every edition paperback plus the hardbacks (cringing even now at how obsessive that is) - not quite there but very nearly. |

I'm like that too Lucy but don't worry, it just means you're a bibliophile (ta, patmac)! Am starting to collect HBs now and am finding it hard to look away from the PB editions even though I know I won't ever read them once I have the HB. Also, the PB takes money away from buying the HB, oh isn't life difficult, lol! |

Now you see, this book snobbery is the reason I'm going for three sets....
(HB, PB and GGB) that way they are each with their own kind and are all happy! |
