Only
about 300 general books listed below . And there are several thousands around here!
This is for merely for family use: the start of an attempted catalogue of my 'home library' accommodated in two rooms of bookshelves, and others.
Listing only a couple of shelves tells me that the task of cataloguing is, for me, impossible – unless I hire help. Instead I shall merely press on - some time
in the future I hope - trying to catalogue the
Press, media and journalism collection. (See Journalism)
