	I have a similar pile of books, this is the first place I haven't
erected shelving to hold them all and put them (back) into order - epubs
are so much handier, I just wish it was easier to buy new books in that
format. Nearly all of the old ones are freely downloadable, and I take the
view that if I bought a new copy once (true of pretty much my entire
collection) then I don't feel at all guilty about downloading an epub of it.
