OK this might be the right idea. You fill it with books, they don't get dusty... they go in the closet or deep in some storage nook.

Then in 15 years you can look at them and maybe part with a few... I can do this!

@futurebird Maybe it will prevent books from falling apart and aging. What do you mean get rid of some?

@futurebird in 15 years those handles and seams would disintegrate. :)

@martin_piper

that's the sign you need to deal with them

@futurebird "deal with them" sounds traumatic.

I think in my case this would be a recipe for never getting rid of any books, and only remembering I have them when I'm carrying 200 pounds of books to the moving van...

@dominick

Well at least you can have a few empty shelves for a bit.

Excellent idea! From where, please?

futurebird OP ,
@futurebird@sauropods.win avatar

@SoftwareTheron They have them on aliexpress, but just search for "book storage bag" or "textbook storage bag"

SoftwareTheron ,

@futurebird
Lovely, thank you!
