You're the first person I've heard to do this sort of thing. I've met many pack rats over the years.

I, for example, have about ten cubic yards of books in my duplex. These includes cast offs from a local college library. Since I was trained in Mathematics I have a large collection of texts in various disciplines. Probably sell them off over time. Math never really changes so they'll keep their value.

In contrast my supply of computer language books I liken to lettuce. They spoil over time. You want to be rich? Write computer books, and as soon as you're done with one, start another.

My Landlord keeps old electronics manuals. He has technical specs on chips that are so old that they're not even offered by second or third sources. They're only worth something to a museum or a paper recycler. I'm thinking about pitching them and replacing the lot with a few CDs of new technology. He'll whine but in time get over it. Might even get him into the 21st century.
