Yes, and that would be the music collection. But not to interrupt your thread of thought... Nor had *I* realized the extent to which a customer (myself) could be put off by a worse-than-motley assortment of books doing decoration duty. Moreover, when I check out a motel I immediately look in the office at the books previous guests have left behind; from that meager view I can discern whether I'd be happy there. Two small things: Never say "unpublishable", say "unpublished". And what the hell is actionscript? “Is there any physical thing in a person’s home that reveals more about their inner life than the books they’ve read and the books they aspire to read?” Yes, and that would be the music collection.
