Moving bookcases

catalyst2We spent the afternoon rearranging bookcases and for the first time ever, all of my BtVS, AtS, AXM, and Serenifly books are in the same place.
Here's the result:
First, the bookcase (there's another one, just as large, that has all of my work stuff in it).
The top is pottery I have collected from various places around the world.
First shelf is miscellaneous - science fiction (a lot of CJ Cherryh) mainly but also political stuff and other things (it is two rows deep, btw, so you can't see the books behind).
Second and third shelves are BtVS and AtS stuff.
Fourth shelf is a bit more BtVS stuff, Serenifly, Dexter, Runaways, AXM, Alan Moore and other stuff.
Fifth and sixth shelves are other stuff - bird books, history (particularly The Holocaust) and other things.
Here are some close-ups of the shelves starting at the second and third ones:
The left side first: The BtVS non-fiction are on the third shelf and the fiction starting from the earlist published. I ran out of room so the later books are on the second shelf and then I ran out of room again for the very latest so they are on the fourth shelf!
ETA: On the extreme left of the third shelf (a bit hard to see) is my OMWF songbook, signed by David Fury, Tony Head and James Marsters. My plan is to get everyone who sung in that episode to sign the book. That's my Twenty Year Master Plan!
and the right:
and finally the fourth shelf, left side first: Yes, that's Fray there, next to all of my carefully wrapped BtVS S8 individual issues (#1-7, so far). Just to demonstrate my obsessiveness, after I took this picture, I noticed that the Watcher's Guide Vol. 1 was there when it should have been on shelf 3 on the left - I had to walk over to the bookcase and move it!
and then the right:
It's not quite everything - there's about 3 BtVS books out on loan and about 40 or 50 issues of the Buffy magazine. I am currently reading Dark Congress (only bought it yesterday) so that will also go up there when I have finished it. And yes, since you asked, the BtVS books are in order - I have no life, quite clearly!
I don't think that I dare count just how many BtVS books (fiction and non-fiction), TPB's, comics and magazines I have, let alone add the other stuff in there. And yes, I have read every single one at least a couple of times - and some dozens of times. Christopher Golden's The Lost Slayer (third shelf, on the right) is as close to perfection as anything written on BtVS, every bit as good as Joss' own stuff.
