Just counted, here in Glasgow I've got 120 'forum friendly' books, 148 when I include my Osprey books, 192 when including my books for my other interests....trains, hot rods/kustoms etc....
Well I finally got them all in one room, well a few stragglers here and there but here is an update. Still organizing but at least they are all on shelves now
Off the top of my head, first step might be by country air force, Jim. Then aircraft type; fighter,bomber etc. Knock that down to eras; WWI, Interwar, WWII and Post-War. Depends I guess on how many shelves and how much space you have.
Thanks guys, as for organizing I have found no easy solution. I am still moving books around but for most part I am finding that alphabetize is out of the question. Puts big books next to little books and seems to cause more damage when trying to get them in and out plus looks weird do to different book sizes. I have been trying to keep the same size series together which seems to help and those books on campaigns and such and same size I try to keep together but so far have not found a really good system yet. The other problem is I have two book cases the same size openings with a third that has bigger openings. Bigger or over size books go in that one and the rest for normal or smaller ones.
