At this point in my life it is time to winnow down the library.
I have often bought books to upgrade condition or to have a better edition.
Book prices have fallen, are still falling, and the increase in postage has killed off much of the mail order hunting and fishing book trade.
Fewer young people collect anything, including rare books.
I have sold quite a few books in gun shows, but Covid-19 has called a halt to that.
Giving a really compelling book to a good friend is really satisfying.
Despite being a book collector and reader since I was a small child in my Father's book shop, I still get a thrill at finding a book that I have never encountered before, or a difficult to find book for a family member.
