The majority of the books we didn’t plan to keep for use at the Ottawa Antique Market or book shows was packed up and shipped off yesterday to a gentleman in Barry’s Bay who is starting up a huge secondhand store for that area.  400+ boxes packed with over 22,000 books and weighing nearly 16,000 pounds have now found a new home near Algonquin Park 2hrs west of Ottawa.  One of most daunting tasks I’ve undertaken (mostly the carrying 200+ boxes up from the basement), but very relieving all the same.  The house is definitely breathing a huge sigh of relief!

Now off to box-up our ABE stock and personal reference collections…
