I've moved about a lot, too, but I've mainly walked out the door and left everything behind. The small bedroom was originally a library (I'd had an independent bookshop and live literature venue previously) and the first time the books did have to move they half filled my sister's garage and then the living room of my flat in London. I was pleased when I got the two big double bookcases from work and worked towards getting everything on them. I'm betwixt and between, on the way to retirement (four months left) but not there yet, I don't want make decisions I might regret when I have more time to consider. At the same time, everything has got to fit into quite a small storage space. But I agree: in any circumstances, books are one of the hardest things to let go.
