You're not leaving our beautiful neck of the woods are you?
I could easily divest myself of over 60% of my books, but down to 30? Not a chance. One of my favorite pastimes is scrolling through alibris and looking up books I would like to have first edition copies of or just books that are out-of-print in general. My wife is an editor, and I know how much work goes into the printing of those little gems. It's like saying you should cull your collection under 30 guitars.
