I don't store National Geographics.  Just
Smithsonians.
:-)

As for cookbooks, I have over 120 period [i.e.:
primary, secondary and terciary sources] cookbooks and
foodways texts.  I have over 500 non-period cookbooks.
I haven't counted lately, as the numbers are always
growing.  And one day, I hope to finish my shelf list.

I don't have an inventory for my equipment on paper or
an accurate count.  But I do have enough cooking and
serving equipment to equip an understocked banquet
hall for a 15 to 18 dish banquet for up to 300 people
with only a minor amount of reuse in the serving
equipment.
Been there, done that a lot, brought all the stuff
home and store all of it in my shed and garage.
