I don't have a large collection but it's steadily growing for each pay check I bring in
However, I keep them all in a cupboard and away from like 80% of the dust in my room. Its getting tight in there but within the next month or so, My tenants in the basement are moving so once they're cleared out and work done to the place, I'll be moving down there with a lot more space for my books. I'm thinking of either building a bookshelf or getting a metal rack for them or get plastic orginizer/moving bins (I save most of my mags and some artical clipouts too).
With the rack idea, the books will share it's space with my DVDs, which is growing faster then my book collection
I keep some of my recipes in digital formats so I'm also thinking of making a space for my laptop in the kitchen.
