Thank god I was told to start packing before all the end-of-the-year special offers.
After selling over 100 books and giving away about a 100 more I seemingly removed about... 0.3% of my collection.

I apologise, I thought the "socialism of fools" means that each fool is self-employed instead if belonging to a local monarch.
I will correct my previous posts.
