A thread just for the sheer fun of having a browse along members\' bookshelves.  Please post a photo or six of your Chinese language, linguistics and area studies (if you like) book collection.

Here are our main Chinese collection, the dictionaries etc in my own room, the area studies shelf section and, for contrast, my other language texts.  I realised that I/we have as many Chinese language texts as I do all the other languages put together!!  My hubby has a couple of dozen books besides these which he keeps in his room.

As you can see, I have a fair few \'Teach Yourself\', \'X in Three Months\', Schaum and \'Practice Makes Perfect\'.  Chinese needs more of these last, but they\'ve (McGraw Hill) at least made a start now.
