But some of the books flat-out won't be returning because the rights have expired and the authors/agents have reclaimed them to try and sell themselves. I wish I'd gone through and done a less haphazard collection of all the books a couple of months ago, since checking against the list of stuff that used to be there, I seem to be missing/unable to find my copies of some of them*. Oh well, I wasn't reading most of them anyway.

* Every so often I resolve to do better and more organized backups. And then I don't do it.
