Great Bookshelf Migration 2009

For those of you who know me, you know several things about me:

1. I don't get rid of anything.
2. I can't pass up going to a bookstore.
3. I can't leave a bookstore without a book.
4. I love books - the physicality of them, the print, the smell, etc.
5. I have too many for the shelves in my home.

So, after 5 years of hard petitioning, and, after several years post-Ikea placement in Stoughton, MA, I'm getting new bookshelves.

126 inches across - 93 1/4 inches high - 4 BILLY units with height extensions and screwed to the walls.

And, bonus is that the shelves which where in the DiningRoom are going into the Living Room - taking up this odd corner that I suppose other folks put their TVs.

For photos - check out my set at Flickr.

I'm also blabbing about this on Twitter and Facebook.

Happy New Year!
