- When moving out of a sprawling suburban home six years ago, my husband and I scanned the floor-to-10-foot ceiling book shelves in our den. Each of us packed the books we could not part with. The rest—about 2,000 books—were donated to charity.In our new Manhattan apartment, we settled into two offices lined with shelves, but since my husband’s office was larger, once in a while I snuck there ...
