Books-just too many,how to manage,and sort?

Well,I guess there must be others here,with a huge amount of books,or some that have done the envitable cull,that must eventually come.

So,I have started,I guess,that's the biggest bit.But,oh my,how many books can a man have!.

Having too many hobbies/interests is not good,here is part of the list..... aircraft,wildlife,fishing,hunting,a stronomy,natural history,antiques,art,tools.........

Guess it all started bad,Auntie Bet worked in a book shop,and I still have the book on insects she gave me over 40 yrs ago.So that one I'm keeping.Seem to have accumulated quite a few books signed by the authors not sure if that's good or bad,there all quite excentric...at best.

Have managed three plastic crates so far to go to markets,couple of English tool books can go on ebay. Then there is magazines and periodicals,general papers.What have others done with all their when culling??

But,how have people gone here that have gone through all this before,seems a shame to dump them and I guess books these days are not worth much.But it has too be done.
