Believe it or not, reaching 275 books felt lie a bit of a milestone, not that there's a goal or anything, just that suddenly seems like a lot of books.
And with the start of term etc I've done what I always tend to do this time of year, slow right down on buying cookbooks and unless I have a project, or a party to plan, work though the ones I do have and cook from them a little more.
Well, there's another reason, I've really run out of space. (Comparison pic taken 4th of Jan 2011 is here) There's pipes in the way that are stopping me adding another shelf to the left and until I can convince Mr. Wearn that shelves on the underside of the stairs are a good idea (IKEA do brackets here) I'm a little stuck on where to go next.
There's also the sticky question on how do you categorise them too....
Which isn't to say I've entirely stopped buying books, I'm just being a little bit more selective for now...
