I remember when I first moved out of my parents home. I had 5 months to the move from New Jersey to San Francisco. In that time I trained 3 different people to do my job at work, sold my car, sold all my records and gave my player to one of my sisters. I got rid of dozens of pairs of shoes and my bedroom furniture. I ended up with 7 Zerox boxes to be sent to me at a later date but did not get rid of my books. They stayed until I over the years, slowly moved them over. I still have most of my big art books (I was a Fine Art Major in college) with me today, 30 years later. I didn't get rid of my National Geographic collection till I got the DVD set. I still miss my Golden Book Encyclopedia set which I gave to the library. I also still have a S**tload of comic books. A book is more than a story, it can be a memory. If someone would put the full Golden Book Encyclopedia in a pdf form with all the color pictures I would buy it in a second for my iPad. I just can't buy the physical book again, they take up too much space and it took me forever to give them up.
