Most of my books I currently own fit on these 3 shelves. This doesn’t count about twenty in my bedroom waiting to be read or in the process of being read, and all my filmmaking or audio production related books which live in my office.

I’ve been regularly culling books I own since a few cross-country moves ago, starting in 2002, i think. In my purges I only save books that are useful for reference or future reconsideration or that have significantly changed how I think about things or those that are rare or hard to find.

This is a manually stitched-together 6-photo montage that doesn’t really fit too well, but you get the idea, and you can zoom in to see detail.
