[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using http://awfullibrarybooks.net/size-matters-estimating-shelf-capacity/ you can get about 12 books per linear foot of shelf space. You'd need 2500 linear feet of shelves for 30k books.

If you did 6-shelf bookcases, and each one was 4 feet wide, (basically the Ikea Hemnes) you'd need 104 bookcases [/quote]

You can get ~500 books into a BILLY type bookcase from Ikea if you get the extra hutch unit that goes on top of it. So 30,000 books is only 60 of those. Totally do-able!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Not q chance the OP is accurate in her 30k estimate. Major exaggeration. [/quote]

OP here, I don't know exactly how many books there are, I don't have time to count them, so I said it was an estimate.  Not trying to exaggerate.  But also, does it make a difference if, let's say the number is 5000, does that change people's response?  they have a very big house, and many rooms have floor to ceiling bookshelves full of books, and like I said, some books are in boxes in their attic - don't know how many.
