Yeah...I was thinking "Those books near the bottom of the pile next to
the walls haven't seen the light of day in 25 years, I bet." If
they're even still there. Bookworms. Silverfish. Mold. Mildew. Ewww.

There's collecting and preserving...and then there's hoarding. When
you can't make use of what you have, make it of use to others, or you
can't keep it in good condition, then you're not doing yourself, the
world or the object(s) any service to keep them.
