Thousands of books pile up in Michigan collector’s home

Thousands of books pile up in Michigan collector’s home: It has taken Free Soil woman between 25 and 30 years to collect 20,000 volumes.

Buss estimates that she has about 1,000 books she hasn’t read yet, in part because she had some vision problems while she was in the middle of acquiring some books and had to store them. “I plan on retiring next year, so I’ll have plenty of time to read,” she said. “I’ll bring all the boxes down and get them done in two weeks.”
