Labelled this book box, not thinking about the out-of-context. Now picturing moving day when the movers ask if these are all books & I say, oh, no. @neilhimself is really in that box and Poe is over there. Be careful where you put them.

Fun thing: Go to a large bookshop. Look in the 2nd hand section at all the different topics and styles and forms and small rants and grand visions and folio and paperbacks. Plays and essays and all kinds of esoterica with pictures.

Now come down to the contemporary section. Teen Fiction, Cooking and Aspirational Famous People. Thud.

It’s OK really, things change. But I feel a bit sorry for the young who missed out.

' What to do with old books is a quandary that collectors, no matter what age, eventually face — or leave to their heirs who, truly, do not want the bulk of them. Old volumes are a problem for older Americans downsizing or facing mortality, with their reading life coming to a close.... They’re a backache every time a collector moves. They’re a headache when collectors want to sell their homes: old stuff, the bane of any listing. '

Think twice before reading/writing a book; the shorter ones will tend to be too long. Incentives are bad: if it’s “too short” you can’t bind it and sell it in bookstores and make a big campaign out of it.

OK I was later informed that I forgot a bunch of boxes in a corner of the appartment, significantly biasing my sample. Now to merge the two datasets...
