I love all the suggestions regarding using an ap for the books. I took care of my magazine problem by pulling out pattern pages I liked. I threw so much but you can sell the pages you don't want on eBay. I then put each page in a clear plastic, 3 ring binder type sleeve. You can sort by quilt size, pattern name, or anyway you like with color coded or alphabetized pages. My 10 year magazine (s) subscription are now in 2 binders and I actually know what I have.
