Or is it all just for show and they take up too much space?

Hundreds in a "decent sized bookcase"? You must be out of your mind.

Ok yea I'm in the wrong here. I count 100 on the top shelf.

That is however a library book case. If a book shelf were half that in width, with just four row shelves, that would be able to carry a couple of hundred books.

I guess I owe jorsh an apology.

We have quite the book collection at home.

I love it. A lot of books that you can’t get digitally and I prefer to open and touch a real book. I do like our Kobo ereader when we’re away camping or something.

The size of the book collection is irrelevant. The knowledge contained after reading said book is another story.
