I have just quickly counted. I have over 900 physical books. Complete waste of space. I did get rid of a load last time I moved house, but it crept up again.

the councl's closed half our lbraries, atalanta, and the remaining ones don't seem to have any of the books I own. Plus I want to hang on to them and refer to them over the years, not send them back after a fortnight.
I have too many to count. I am slowly getting rid of them. Anyone want any children's story books?
About a hundred, mostly reference. I tend to read fiction once only so get them all from the library, am lucky that I can still go to an online catalogue and get what want delivered to my library for free - used to be 25p!
Not quite sure at the moment. I gave over 400 to a worthwhile animal charity in France after moving in with OH. Then approx. another 300 went when we were packing to move to UK. I am still vaguely wandering amongst the remainder wondering where 'whatever' is. Probably got only just over 150 at the moment - but number is growing!
I'm guessing around 800 in my flat. That includes a number of packed carrier bags in the spare room,ready for any charity that might have them. I'd have more if I didn't have a kindle...there's about 300 on there.
I'd also have more if I didn't exercise some self restraint...
I got rid of all of ours when we moved, sold a lot of them on Amazon...We now have a kindle and much more room!
Not counting reference books, about 100, if you'd asked me this time last year I wouldn't have liked to have guessed but Trish made me have a clear out so we could have some room in the bungalow to sit down.
Excluding the ones I have stored in the attic, as I have insufficient space in the normal rooms, I'd estimate over 400. Every one a valuable volume.
I so envy everyone's loft space.
Gizillions. I can't sell or give any away, same with records and videos. I found out early on, as soon as I let one go
I want to watch / read / listen to it again.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
far too many..every nook and cranny..attic..gardening books..novels..reference...cookery books...must start reading more and get rid, but just can't find the time....
Far too many is my answer ! I keep meaning to take a load down to the charity shop, but when I do, I tend to come back with some more !
I used to keep almost every book I ever bought, but I moved home last year and took the opportunity to blitz the heaving shelves, keeping only my favourite novels and, of course, my enormous stash of reference books - which I couldn’t do without. I get rid of read novels straightaway now. I can't see the point of keeping books that I'm never going to read again.
Sorry missed that response.
