Having had a little tidy up and dust down I have acculated:
95 books.
86 DVDs.
1 data CD.

All fishing related.
What long cold winters we have had.

Now then, how to put it all to good use?

So has anyone else built up a collection over the last few years?

Ron's probably read them all on his way to S.A or Auz.

I have had some naff dvds/vids on fishing that I have given away plus the usual books such as encyclopedia of fishing, by everyone unknown in the fishing world.

Truthfully.... well over a thousand books, fishing, history, shrubs/trees/conifers (our business), well over two hundred videos and dvds, fishing, old comedy (3 stooges, Frank Randle etc), fishing and trade magazines galore. And still buying from charity shops/ebay.

The thing is i'm not a HOARDER, my office, (back bedroom), is piled high, but I can still find what I need.

I know what you mean, some are so bad that they become enjoyable, one match angler is so boring I have thought of recommending his dvds to insomnia clinics.
