How many books in your collection?

I have been collecting hard back books for many years since I was a teen. I've read each one of my books at least twice. So far I have 376 in my collection. I can't think how much it will cost to move all those when I leave my current location.

I'm such a big fan of hardback books. So much more so than paper back books. I know it's just the same information in all books, even ebooks. But the hardback books just 'feel' more authoritative. If given the choice I would read a good hardback book (or textbook) any day over a comparable ebook with similar information.

I have shelves and shelves of books. I have loved to read for a while now so I usually get a new book everytime I am at the book store.

I am a book lover, I not only buy books but also collect books. I never discard any books that I bought, received as gifts or for free. Having a good library is one of my dreams. I have about 1000 printed books and over 25 GB digital books. Once I had 5000 books, but I lost them as I moved homes. Currently, I am more into digital books than printed books. Since storing ebooks do not require physical space and it is easy to save them, I prefer digital books to printed books.

I think I have around 200 books in my collection but most of them are books for kids that I liked to buy when I was a kid or I got them as a present. I don't buy many books now, but sometimes I get them from others or I win them in some contests. I prefer to go to a library.

I guess I have around 80 books now, I had over 400 books, that was my father's library book but I had to give up on it when I sold the old house, I asked the new owner to keep the books for free, and he was happy to do so.
Unfortunatly now I have a small apartment and I don't have too much space, that is why I have only 80- 90 books!

I stopped to collect hardback books years ago, except for masterpieces, but I have thousands of Ebooks stored in DVDs.

I have a great collector of hard back books a while back but now I accumulate more of Ebooks than hard back books.My hard back books should be less than 100 while my Ebooks should exceed 100.

Honestly I've never counted my books, but I know for sure I've more than a hundred, and those are just the ones that I've have. But if I have to count the ones that I've read oh my God, I've read hundreds and hundreds. Ever since I learned how to read, I've been reading, buying, exchanging books. I have a very wide open taste for them, so I can read literally anything that comes to my hands. Nothing like a good book to involve myself in another world.

I really love reading books. This is something that I do on a daily basis. I read both physical books and eBooks. I have never counted my books and so I can't give you an exact figure. I am looking forward to buy some new books.

I do have a collection of books if I include comic books it would reach to about 3200 but if it's hard cover and paper back books it's around 700 plus.

Books are really cheap nowadays, well old books are, whenever I have some extra spending money I go to Book Sale or National Bookstore and scan their books which are on sale and pick one I look for books in the $1 - $3 range. I'm now collecting coffee table books, those hard covered big books looks good because of the attractive hard bound covers.

Wow, 376 books is a huge number, I am ashamed of the 16 books that I have, and these ones I own because my wife is using to buy me a book from time to time.

I envy you for having such a big place for your collection. I used to collect books as well and I have about a hundred and four or five. A lot of them are series of a novel. But now I sort of collect online books, as there are a lot of writers that publishes ebooks now a days. I have about 500 more or less in my E-books collection.
