Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie

It's probably a sign of something -- good or bad, I don't know -- if one can buy a new bookshelf unit (62" tall, 9" deep, 27" wide), fill it completely (including one shelf of nothing but mass-market paperbacks placed two-deep), and still have several stacks of books on the floor. Wow. (Although I haven't finished the whole project yet; there is still another shelf to relocate to the bedroom and fill and another to rearrange and condense, so everything should be off the floor soon. I think.)
