Streamlining all of my books and hoping to end up with only one bookcase before I reach 70. I have seen, all too often, bereaved family members not knowing what to do with all those books the deceased left behind--and ending up throwing them away, donating them to unwilling recipients, or giving them to the undeserving.

In our projected study room, Angelique will have her own bookcase for her law books, and Aubrey another for her medicine books. No more bookcases other than the three--Angelique's, Aubrey's, and mine.

Books are as personal as wardrobes, and I could never impose mine on someone else.
