I've finally got around to getting my books into shelving units rather than book cases. I've filled two nearly half filled a third and....have a fourth unit waiting
That's the problem when you've got a few books on aircraft and aviation....before anyone asks, I'm not sure, it maybe 200-300 books.
I think I've taken care of any retirement issues

"200-300 books." And then some mate .... you can never have enough books, I love them as well. It maybe age, but for me, there's nothing like holding in your hand, a well-researched, quality publication.
As far as I've seen you don't mess around on the quality side. Pen and sword, Schiffer, Osprey, Air Britain...to name a few....keep it up.
You may however, need some structural bracing installed under your 1st floor archive...more than happy to give you a quote.

I also have two more Legends Of Air Warfare on order..The Boeing P-8A Poseidon and the AV-8A/B Harrier II.
Then there's the 7 or 8 more Osprey books and couple more......I think

Nice Simon !!! that would be impressive to see .. I remember 'Wing Commander' Ian Warren had a fair old collection, as do many of yaz Im sure, Doug too right?

My addiction is "Airliner World" magazines, I have complete years going back almost to the start, defo testing the wifes patience re storage space for things she CLAIMS I will never read again ... I tell her they are for "research purposes"

Deeknow, I used to get that, now my excuse/reason is whatever book I get isn't available in New Zealand
If I see a book on a type that I like and don't have it, there's my reason for buying it... my story and I'm sticking to it

Hah, I'm gonna try that, see how I get on w her who must be obeyed

Deeknow, just between you and me...I had two more Legends Of Air Warfare books arrive yesterday.

LOL "mums" the word mate !!!

Cheers Deeknow

Deeknow, Airliner world is a good addiction. I remember discovering it years ago, and collecting them....great reading.
Sadley ex wife #2 thought they were good fire starters , and used as such before I could rescue them ....still winds be up 20 years on....

NOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!!.....

My current wifey would do the same if she got a chance (and knew where I stashed them)

Deeknow, just beyween you and me, I've had six books arrive in the last two days.
Remember.. Mum's the word

I've been keeping the couriers busy this week....only a couple of books have arrived.
Well....actually it's...I can't get them here so....okay, okay ..eight have turned up

do you order books from overseas? I used to use the NZ Post YouPost thing where you can batch up a bunch of items in a NZ Post warehouse in the UK and US and then post it to NZ when ready, the freight prices USED to be OK but they seem to have SKY-ROCKETED lately, no way I'll be sending anything at their current rates, no more airliner world back-issues for me

Deeknow, most come from Booktopia in Australia. If you spend $99, shipping is free...not saying that I spend that much...okay, sometimes I do
