Things that stay: The signed first editions Cookbooks I use Craft books I use (or plan to use) Novels I would love to read again/are favorites Travel reference that I find handy
Things that go/will be culled this time: Books I don't like Cookbooks I don't use/have never cracked open (but I'm lenient here) Reference books that I never use (including some travel books) Novels whose plots I can remember, and am not interested in reading again Books whose plots I don't recall, and am not interested in reading again
If it's iffy, it goes. If I've put it in the "to be got rid of" pile and then get a twinge, I'll pull it back out and keep it until the next cull. The culls happen at least once a year, so every book has to pass the test...every time.
