So... someone wants to share opinions (about my obsession) or libraries?

Astounding collection! I'm just curios about one thing, though. What do you mean by "most old books"? Surely you are not saying that in your huge collection, none of the books were published befor 1978? That would mean you do not own any classic literature!

Ops, I should add a title to the Library: it's my "romance" library, I have only catalogue my romance books. Oh I have many other books, more or less I have 4000 books in print, but never have the time, or patience, to classify them. I think my most old book was a late eighteen century novel of a totally unknown author: think, I found it in a garbage... and when I said late eighteen, it's not a recent reprint, it's a real late eighteen book.

P.S. I remember that I have also two bibles, one of the sixteen century and one of the seventeen century (one of the first bible in vulgary and not in latin).
