by the way ...cool puz :)
Ha! I read almost exclusively on an eReader these days, but I run out of shelf space anyway.#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 1, 2010 [SPOILER]
Because I still like having the "real" book version of books I like.
I love books, and I love pretty bookcases. Nice puzzle.#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 1, 2011
Love it! I'm very familiar with creative stacking.#7: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Feb 26, 2011 [SPOILER]
more shelving AND more books!!!#8: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Aug 22, 2013 [SPOILER]
Nice, Heather! I too am dealing with this dilemma...I really must weed through and discard some books!#9: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Aug 22, 2013 [SPOILER]
Very nice! It seems that we all have another thing in common; besides being puzzle addicts, we are bibliophiles! :)#10: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 22, 2013
What is it about a book, even if it wasn't very good, that you can't bear to part with it? :)#11: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Aug 22, 2013 [HINT]

Separate from bibliophilia, but inextricably linked is bibliomania.#13: Belita (belita) on Mar 21, 2021
Bibliomania is the hoarding of books. Even ones that are not useful or even of interest to the owner. It can be a sign of OCD.
Somewhere between the two is tsundoku. It is a Japanese word meaning to acquire books and letting them pile up, but with the intention of reading them. (That "intention" is the sticky part!)
So I'm a tsundoku. I'll have to try that word out on people and impress them.
