Please con­sider, if only to fur­ther redis­trib­ute the entropic bal­ance of the world, visiting:

1. my cur­rent eBay auc­tions (about 50 books, as of this writ­ing. Some dirty! Many old! A few funny!)
2. my cur­rent Ama­zon Mar­ket­place books (about 700 books, as of this writing)

We have just rented a new [sec­ond] 10´ × 20´ (× 10´) stor­age bin, so we can unstack our way out of the accu­mu­la­tion of

1. Our per­sonal belong­ings we need to liq­ui­date (about 3000 nice books, as of this writing)
2. My Mom’s per­sonal belong­ings (about 500 books, many knick­knacks and such­like, and innu­mer­able linens, plus my Dad’s estate includ­ing thou­sands of vac­uum tubes, sci­ence geek Maker objects, and elec­tronic gad­gets (he worked at NASA))
3. My dead friend Nancy’s col­lec­tion of col­lec­tions, cov­er­ing every­thing from milk glass to tin toys to books on col­lectibles (83 2.5 ft³ boxes)
4. My live friend Cosma’s 33 boxes of books he can’t afford to deal with mov­ing any more so he left them here with us to sell (> 33 boxes, since he didn’t pack them very tightly)
5. Assorted ran­dom stuff we’ve bought in box lots at estate sales think­ing, “Hey, I bet some­body will want that; maybe I can sell it to pay for the one thing I want from this box to add to my per­sonal belong­ings! (Cf. “Per­sonal belong­ings” above; I’d say about 1 ton)

Many, many many many many many many many more items com­ing. Really. We’ve started a real busi­ness on this sub­ject. We’re con­sid­er­ing rent­ing office/​warehouse space.

So, yes, tech­ni­cally this is a self-​​serving sell-​​out of an advertisement.

But here’s the trick. You want these. I know this, because we want them, or some­body whose opin­ion we value did at some point. But we can’t have them all, we never intended to have them all, we never expected to have them all. We need to share more.
