I am currently at 454 and counting. A great piece of software for cataloging your library can be found here:

"Let your Morning Thoughts, and your last Evening Thoughts, be what shall become of you to all Eternity." -- Matthew Poole

right, hence the "now". those threads are over a year old....

The second one is only one month old.

Some 343 odd books, not counting the school books and journals on some of my shelves. I had thought I had thousands in the past, but that's just not so, yet. ;-)

My Library!

I only cataloged the rare books in the den, so my Book Collector Pro file only stands at 262 items (I really like that program; link given above). I turned it into a major project and so got tired of the work once those were done. I took pictures of each and then I had to dig thru my files to get purchase dates and prices. Happily a large percentage of these books were purchased from David Lachman and I had kept all the correspondence and book lists; others I dug thru old records which was tedious. But this was useful simply from the stand point of knowing the value of the collection and keeping track for future reference. I guess I should get the rest done but first I need to make a separate db of the research collection I have of various editions of the Westminster Standards. But too busy with other things to do that right now. About 120 editions are in that collection.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

I guess I am not nearly so organized as you. I have about ten on my desk and on assorted horizontal surfaces about the living room. I believe there are three in the bathroom. There could be several that got kicked off the bed as I fell asleep reading at bed. As for the "organized" books - about 65 linear feet of booksheves.

While I'm in seminary, I have boxes and boxes of books in storage in various closets around the house. I have around 160 or so on the shelves.

I use Mediaman for my catalogging. It used to be free, but I think now it's $40. (But I still have the free version )

I started catalogging so that I could compile a report in case anything happened to our house. That way, I could tell my insurance agent, "Here is an itemized list of every book with it's retail value from Amazon.com"
