I was told if you have 1000 books you are official library. I just catalog all the books me and my wife have and it came out at 900. If I included books I have duplicates in I would have 913 books. So close but so far away. I look forward to expanding my collection. But at same time I wouldn't mind having this whole collection in ebook form so that I could travel and still have access to all my books.

How many books do anyone here on this instance have?

I have 715 books with about 20 others I couldn't find OCLC records for and haven't set aside the time to catalog by hand.

I wonder where the 1000 number comes from but that's been my goal as well, until it gets pushed to 1500 or 2000 (HA!)
