Wendy Lesser, in today’s Guardian, explores something that I try not to think about: downsizing one’s library. I know that at some point in the future, it will be inevitable that I will have to let some of my books go, but hopefully that will not be for many years yet.

Oops – link now fixed! Yep, I know, getting rid of books is a horrendous prospect, but one day, when I move to my one-room granny flat in a warden-controlled apartment for distressed gentlefolk, it will have to be faced!

It depends on the book. _Programming_MS_Access_95_, for example, may only serve as a mediocre doorstop.

Mike, it’s true, and I’ve already got rid of most of those. But I have kept some back for their curiosity value – "The SAA Handbook", and "SAA and UNIX, IBM’s Open Systems Strategy", for example.
