I have switched to ordering quilting books/magazines to digital issues. Like you, I have too many books & magazines! I've been scanning the ones I have and donating them when done. I have subscriptions to McCall's Quilting and Quick Quilts, and Quilter's World. I also purchase quilting digital books from Martingale's website. They have fabulous books and the digital books are less expensive than the hard copy. I also knit & crochet, so I purchase digital issues as well. I find that it's easier to just print the pattern I want to make and then discard it when done. I still have the pattern in digital format, but it's not taking up space. I save the issues to a portable hard drive and also to a cd disk. That way I have a backup just in case something goes wrong. Hopefully that won't happen, but one never knows.
