uncluttering one day and one thing at a time

There are four bookcases in this room alone, and half those shelves are double-shelved. I think there are ten bookcases in the house, not counting assorted endtables and nightstands with books. I might be able to go through the entire collection in under a week, though to be honest it would take a couple of days max if I was the sole arbiter of what stays. (No, the sign language books from a single course you took five years ago do not need to stay, dear family.)

And I have to give a bit of o.O to the alphabetical. Maybe within categories/genres, but not everything. And alphabetical by what? Title? Author surname? Series? So many choices!
