I'm still not sure about the red but thought I'd give it another try. Have the brown/blue saved just in case.
Weeding is difficult. I was able to keep all the books by authors I know and like, such as the Garfield ones, but only because I have the luxury of a large enough facility to hold them. I worry how many others I got rid of only because I don't know enough about the older authors, or I can't predict who will become more well-read after writing subsequent books. I'm pretty rushed for time this year, but I was able to go online and read about some before deciding if they should go. Many got a reprieve.
I'm dreading the day I might still be at this library and have to weed the fiction I bought years before. That will be doubly painful. At least now I'm weeding someone else's choices.
