I've been following the "Professional Movers Destroyed My Collection Thread." A calamity to be sure, maybe worse for some folks, but thankfully there is the glimmer of hope that insurance offers. I’ve had to rebuild my collection twice. Both times the destruction was self inflicted. Once I had to sell my books to make tuition and once, well, “she who must be obeyed” mandated a massive weed because of a move….And we needed money to finance the move. And by the way, she was right. Anyway, twenty years later I’ve rebuilt and recovered. So, hang in there, Usually what is lost can be found.

I should really start selling some books here.

I should too, but I can't bear to let anything go. The next house will have a dedicated Library, and I don't want to empty out and then have to restock. The wife doesn't understand that at all."Dance until your feet hurt. Sing until your lungs hurt. Act until you're William Hurt." - Phil Dunphy ("Modern Family"), from Phil's-osophy.
