Ahem... there is no such thing as too many books, my dear.  ;D
There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared:  twins.

Amen! Go on ~ go get another two, a nice even 100.

Just for you guys who didn't know ~ there used to be lots of shops who did the trade-in deal - it used to to be only way I could afford all my reading when I was a student.  We still have a store down here that does it, but it's so rare, I guess they have too much competition from charity shops/Amazon etc.

We also have an Oxfam bookstore down here, but you can buy online at Oxfam via Abebooks and choose to give Oxfam all the proceeds or just 5% or you can choose The Book Place with 10% going to Oxfam.

I have a dozen or so boxes packed full of books-it's a list of books that's about forty pages long (both sides!)  I can't wait to unpack them...I already miss them so...

I know what you mean...when I came back from travelling and got this flat...the FIRST thing that was put into place and unpacked was the book shelves and then the books...heck didn't even have the bed in the flat yet!!!  It *felt* like home once the books were up!  :)
