Hey PJ me as well.
I adore books and have a room in my house that is a library with floor to ceiling book cases. Separate from that I have a hobby room with its collection of books as well - including hundred's of Osprey's, Windsock magazine, as well a complete collection of Historical Miniature etc, etc. Fortunately I used to tear apart magazines and file articles by subject or I would have had several thousand other magazines. (That collection which once resided in a 36 inch four drawer file cabinet has since been disposed off.) I love them all but, use most of them hardly at all with the internet slowly taking precedence. (Osprey I now buy digitally as most of them I purchase because they are interesting but, have no reason to keep a publication on Victorian Gunboats for example - I will never model from it.)
Beyond a shame but, tastes change. (It also one of the reasons I enjoy the BFFS Journal so much as it covers a fair amount of ground on the history of our craft not to mention requiring no shelf space!
Good luck let me know if you crack it?
