There are too many to count them. Although now I desperately need to count them all...I'm guessing around 300 physical books.

I'm not sure of the exact number, but it was over 700 the last time I counted! I've given away books and bought more since then, though, so I'm not completely sure!

I do not exaggerate when I say I have between 4000 and 5000 physical books. The last time I moved, the number of book boxes eclipsed everything else.

That's what happens when some of your best friends growing up were the school or community librarians!

I love used books and own over 1,000 books, 7 big book shelves worth. My local library, like many others, has semi-annual book sales with great prices, I love poring over all the possible titles I could read and often come home with 15 or more titles. This year, I want to use Bookshelves to really capture all the books I own and have read (unfortunately I've only read about 60% of what I own!!)

I have about 300 :D When I go to coffee shops I always have a book with me. I get so absorbed in my reading that I sometimes forget to drink my coffee. :lol:

I have finally figured out how many books I own. The total is 1250. That's mostly non fiction. I've got books on various subjects like motoring,aviation,Kinesiology,Acupressure,tv show books,business books,piano books,etc.
Then I've got about 20 Walt Disney childrens books and another 20 books I had when I was a child. I keep them all at home. The cost so far is around $19,000. Some of those books were new at the time whilst the rest are used books.
