I have huge stainless wraparound shelving which is devoted about 75% to cookbooks and then another bookshelf full.
I have too many other books to put them somewhere else. Plus I like my cookbooks in the kitchen.

No, never in the kitchen, I don`t think it`s a good idea.

If I was building a house and could design my kitchen then I would have bookshelves and a desk with a place for a TV and computer ...
But, since my kitchen is limited in cooking space - I store and read my cookbooks in just about every other room.

I don't actually have a bookshelf for them, they are tucked into the bread box...

Our kitchen is really pathetic when it comes to storing anything, so I have to "make do."
I've built rows and rows of shelves in the adjacent breakfast room, which is where all my cookbooks live. I probably have 65 to 90 feet of shelves that are overflowing. Well, my collection is somewhere in the 1,000+ area, so that's a lot of cookbooks. I love my cookbooks and I can find any recipe in them simply by remembering the size/color/print on the spine. Many of them are good, old friends. My cooking reference books are on a bookcase in my office upstairs.

I thought seriously about this, but there just isn't any room for one in there.
And now with the much-antisipated and anxiously-planned arrival of Deuce, I have to make sure that he has room just in case he wants to hang out in there, especially when I'm cooking.

Maverick, do you mean you can fit all your cookbooks in a single breadbox? Oh my, I might be out of control ...

Ut-oh... here comes an intervention! LOL.
Yup, they all fit into a single bread box. I only have a few on hand. If I had my way I would have tons, most starting with techniques and styles, but I simply have no place to put them!
