I have to pay a lot to store most of my books.  I bought out all of the 
commercial shelving inside the cage (where they kept expensive , fragile 
stuff) when Best Electronics went bust 10 or 15 years ago.  But, most of my 
books and periodicals are in file boxes.  They take a lot of space , they are 
very heavy, and they attract pests (watch for termites and especially for 
roaches eating the animal glue for 18th & 19th century volumes).  I spent 
decades and I have no idea how much money and I will end up selling them for 
a song .  they have brought me pleasure over the years.  ButI would not do it 
again....bobf
