Cleaning the bookshelves

This weekend I kicked off a bookshelf cleaning in my house.  We're not done yet - our house has three bedrooms, which contain between them 12 5 shelf IKEA book cases, and there are 5 longer standalone bookshelves, as well as miscellaneous other spots where books are hiding.  

 

But so far, we have learned that we have 5 copies of Treasure Island, 2 copies of Robinson Crusoe, 2 copies of The Two Towers (only one of the other LotR books), 2 Foundation's Edge, 2 The Secret of Platform 13, 2 Trinity (by Leon Uris), 2 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 4 copies of Call of the Wild (7 if you count it's presence in short story collections, including 2 Tales of the North), 2 copies of Jonathan Livingston Seagull of all things and probably other duplicates that we haven't found yet.

You must've really liked Treaure Island.

Maybe we should start calling you Arrrrrcanist Lupus!

I've got 5 versions of The Three Musketeers lying about the house.  One plain paperback for reading, an annotated edition, an illustrated edition, a graphic novel adaptation, and a vintage copy that part of a dumas set.

When they're all distinct versions having multiple copies isn't so strange.  We have at least 4 copies of Alice in Wonderland - a reading copy, a copy in the complete works of Lewis Carol, the Annotated Alice, and More Annotated Alice.
