The thing is, I doubt I will ever spend as much as I did in the years when I was building up my "foundational" collection. If I have amassed a collection of over 300 favorite paperbacks sitting in my house, why would I bother buying a bookshelf and storing them if I didn't plan to use them again? we're just one household, not a multinational corporation.
The fact that I actually HAVE so many books, most of which I love and am addicted to, means that progressively over time I'll be buying less and less. People's buying habits fluctuate according to their budget and desire to amass stuff.
At least for me, anyway.
Much like if one year I am buying a dozen sweaters for myself, I don't need to buy that many for myself the next year, if any. I have clothes.
I tend to think too functionally for my own good I think.
