No; even the percentage I brought was almost too much for this house (which was not exactly short of books already; I could probably spend the rest of my life just reading Karen's collection, never mind my own). Which was clear in advance, so I did a massive winnowing, and left behind everything that I could conceivably live without. I brought almost all the cookbooks, almost all the SF/F, a percentage of the children's books, a small percentage of the mysteries; after that it was selected authors - Eliot, Kipling, like that. Not much non-fiction. I had a whole Crusades history collection which I kinda didn't need any more since the Outremer books are finished, but didn't want to break up; that's staying with friends in the UK. The rest got donated.
