Now then, what you`ve got to do is use the old Six Month Rule - if you`ve not referred to a book, journal or whatever in the past half a year, lob it, sell it, recycle or give it away. I went through this process two years ago, so out went all my old BBs( dating back to the 70`s) Birding Worlds, county bird reports (although I could not bear to part with a complete set of Beds reports going back to 1946), stuffed birds and loads of books. The result was most cathartic and I`m now left with just, well, three floor to ceiling bookcases, plus my old logbooks, but that`s it - hang on though, there is a box or two in the loft... but its better than it was, honest. Good luck Steve...Paul Troddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532050770282573211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-51057423335508000702015-03-12T19:03:53.045+00:002015-03-12T19:03:53.045+00:00I have the same problem.

Each time I have a good go at it and feel like I have done something, things look pretty much the same. <br /><br />Books are like hair, both need cutting now and then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108417673119719006noreply@blogger.com
