Ummm. I don't know. Are you a Pelican or a Laurel?

Well, the Laurel library might have actually been larger then. Now
everything older than 1994, unless it was an active file, has been
put on CD-ROM and the originals stored (I think) in Pittsburg.

This is your personal library? This is probably bigger than mine, at
least the medieval stuff. I don't know because I've never counted, nor
put it in a database, which is one of my future projects. Then at
least if I couldn't find the book, I could at least give a bibliographic
referance for it. Right now our library is spread across five rooms,
including the kitchen. And much of it is in stacks on the floor and
elsewhere. As soon as I add shelves they get full and I'm out of
room to add any more bookcases. Okay, some folks buy drugs. I buy
books.
