I had one tall 7 shelf bookcase that I had filled with books but once we moved into our house, we put our dvds and games in it so my books are packed away in a couple boxes right now.

Not big enough for sure - I still have about 8 crates of books in storage that I really want to get properly shelved.

I have a standard 5 shelf bookcase, but there are books in the tops of my closets and stacked on the floor. If I had my way, I would have bookshelves along every wall of my house, including over and under the windows. Of course, they would be catalogued...

I just bought two new bookshelves to hold the books I had piled up on the floor. I filled these two bookshelves immediately and now need more room.

I have a spare bedroom that is nothing but books and bookshelves.

I have too many books, if in fact there is such a thing.

I have multiple shelves, probably a total of 7? Three are in a bookcase and the rest are bolted to the walls above my bed.

My bookshelf is only 2 shelves high but houses a lot of books. It's a little wider than a doorway.

I have shelves that go all the way around the top of the walls in every room except the kitchen and bathrooms. Who needs wallpaper?
