    It isn’t the price of the books, it’s the price of the space and furniture to showcase them in an appropriate manner.

      That’s fair too. For my part, I’ve recently started to maintain one bookshelf (found on curbside give-away day) and churn through it, keeping a couple notable favorites as conversation starters or for loaning out.

      But the physical presence is important to me, so it’s worth the real estate it takes up in the room. I can totally understand how that isn’t the case for everyone.
