Wow - sorry to hear this - hope the ********* gets charged and has to pay for the repairs out of his insurance (this is assuming he even HAS insurance!).

Thanks! It's in the hands of the insurance company now. I take the car in on the 9th for repairs. Isn't going to cost me a dime either- they're putting it under 'uninsured motorist' and I have no deductable on that category.
skimom2 So... what'd ya score at the library sale?
She's probably busy renting a storage unit to keep 'em all in!!

SO. MANY. BOOKS. I haven't even sorted or counted them all, but our first trip was 25 books and one movie for $14, then my daughter and I went back for the last hour when you can fill a bag for $1. I haven't even looked at those yet--lol. There have to be at least another 25-30 books. Mark doesn't know about those ones yet--he's gonna kill me, because we have NO shelf space left at all already. I say it's good incentive to get hopping on my new, big bookshelf in the living room
My favorite: I found a HB copy of Rumbelow's The Complete Jack the Ripper! I couldn't believe how much they wanted for it online, but I can do pennies
Oh, and there's a lovely, early 20th century HB of O. Henry's stories, with the foreword in Russian. That was a nice add, too. I have to get sorting tonight, and then I'll know for sure what I have
Sounds like you had fun - even went back for round two! Congrats!SO. MANY. BOOKS.

Don't take any guff from those swine.
Super cool!! I have an old collection to O. Henry's. I love him! Did you know there's an O. Henry short story prize every year and they put the contenders in a collection. I used to get them every year.SO. MANY. BOOKS.

Bookshelf space - have you tried stacking them under your end tables? That's where I'm at. And on each side of the lamps on the night stands in my bedroom. We have an old dresser that I'd really like to do this to:

Our library sale is coming up in a couple weeks. hope i have the luck skimom had.

Bought a hardcover first edition Song of Susannah (very good condition).
Bought a hardcover first edition of Owen King's Double Feature (very good condition - except for red marker across outer text block ).

When you run out of bookcases there are always floating bookshelves! And you can stack ALOT of books on those things!
I got a really nice HC of "A Book of Horrors" in the mail yesterday
I am SO out of shelves. Books are double stacked, as I try to figure out where to put another bookcase
I've been keeping an eye out for one of those!Bought a hardcover first edition of Owen King's Double Feature (very good condition - except for red marker across outer text block
Yup, they're stacked everywhere. The shelf in my room is one of the smaller ones, so I might have to upgrade to something larger. I also have an antique armoire that's been airing since we brought it home from my mom's last December. It was stored in her garage where people smoked, and it stank to high hell. It's finally getting better inside--I can stand to open it--so I might consider seeing if there'a a way to put books in there (besides stacking them on the floor).Super cool!!

It would be a great bookcase.
Do you have high ceilings? Or perhaps cathedral ones? If so, you can use the space up above a doorway or close to the ceilings to place a bookshelf or two. It's wasted space up there as far as I'm concerned. I have four shelves I have placed up above (I have cathedral ceilings) and it has given me lots more room for my beloved books. But, I, too, am running out of space for those books.....I am SO out of shelves. Books are double stacked, as I try to figure out where to put another bookcase

You mount these suckers on the wall and they dont take up alot of space
