Well, it took a bit of effort, but the book collection is on site.
Total is in excess of 1800 books (more will undoubtedly appear). My original estimate was higher, but I was counting by the inch and a lot of the books are thicker than the older ones. A lot are over 1,000 pages.
The most popular author? Harry Harrison. If you haven’t read ‘The Stainless Steel Rat’, then your education is somewhat lacking!
