Oh goodness. You sound just like my wife. I've had to get up at the crack of dawn before to drive 3 hours out to a book sale so that I could drive a car full of cheap books home to my house and put them in one of our rooms that is already full of books. Its her pasion. I'm happy to see that things worked out so well for you.
