Too many (I'm afraid to count) and I bought two new ones over the weekend and added two more to my wish list.

Hmm.. maybe I should have bought those bookcases at Borders....:LOL:
 
About 400, not including magazines and booklets.

And I'm NOT getting rid of any of them! I'll leave them to someone in my will.
 
Probably about 100 - 200
Just redid my kitchen and had a special built in bookcase made to display them. I get many recipes online, but I still like having a book in front of me. Also some that I have gotten from book signings. I also like good cooking reference books to have on hand. I prefer books with a lot of pictures. I like to see the end product even before I start.
 
Around 100+, plus many clipped recipes that I am slowly trying to put into my online recipe box.

I have 4 shelves worth and several that don't fit on the shelves. I am moving all my cake books to the office shelves (where I have all my decorating supplies) and then will be able to put the rest of the books in there. I have 5 books on my birthday wish list and will most likely get them.

Okay, that's books. I have a very large cardboard box that has loose recipes that I haven't yet gotten into my computer program (Oh, which also holds probably 2,000 recipes (not from their files but of my own - many are my cake and culinary recipes I have created or adapted). And there is my school binder and notebooks.

My book shelf has eight shelves but I can't fit more books on because the top four shelves contain my angel collection. When the cleaning ladies come they have in their records this unit is NOT to be touched. I do it myself!

I use the books probably more for reference than for actual recipes, but they do contain some of my favourites.

Hubby and Dad are very watchful of me when I head to book stores!
