9 off, Billy, 202x80 (the high, wide one)
2 off, Billy, 202x60 (the high, narrow one)

I thought that the Billy _was_ the SI unit of book ownership ;-)

As an off topic question, how many "billys" worth?

I have no idea how many books my wife has, but is currently look at 6
billys
worth, plus others..

Perhaps the "Billy" should be come the standard measure :-)

It's an amalgamation of my collection and my wife's.

We have both been avid readers for 20-odd years, but most of the
collection is since 1989 (when we went to Uni)

I have:

- Science Fiction and Fantasy (1044)
- Humour (55)

Mary has:

- Childrens Books, mainly 1920-1950s (607)
- Crime (317)

We also have:

- General (260)

Stored in Ikea "Billy" bookcases, installed over the years,
mainly in
the sitting room, or as we now call it, the library.

We go to Haye-on-Wye for a long weekend once a year, and last year
bought about 200 between us on that trip.

Regards,

Mark

Holy Sugar Plum Fairies !!!

Sorry Daniel/Mark, Ben's my newest hero now. ;-)

Are they all your own?
How long have you been collecting?
How do you store them?
Have you read them all?
What are they about, in general?

This is fascinating ! Normal HA service resumes shortly...
