Inspired by your Tip of the Month: Letting Go of (Some of) the Books, I reviewed my bookshelves and pulled out books I know I will never look at again. I removed books I had in storage - 3 boxes of them! If old paperbacks are stashed away in a garden shed, why do I bother keeping them .. let someone else enjoy them!<br /><br />Releasing some space from the shelves and discarding unwanted books is a similar feeling to losing weight .. I feel leaner knowing I am not dragging unneeded stuff through my life.<br /><br />Computer books are the first to be reviewed. I had a book on the GIMP image editing program. It was (c) 1991 and I bought it for $5 many years ago. It was out of date back then, and even more so now. A computer book should be treated like a text book. ONly buy the computer books you really need, then work through them promptly before the software goes out of date.Cavemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926561145951195140noreply@blogger.com
