I have 126 books. I know because whenever I get a new book I put it on my purchased list on Amazon so that my family will know what I have and not buy me repeats. About a third of them are about quilt history. History of any form has always fascinated me.
I have 20 magazines that I will be keeping. There is about twice that many mags that I still need to go through and copy patterns I am interested in and put them in notebooks. I keep the magazines intact and pass them on. I have three 3" notebooks of patterns that I have decided to keep.
I have an amazon wish list of 391 books. Periodically I go through it and edit.

To be honest, I don't really want to know--now I buy very few quilt magazines because the ideas seem to be recycled from earlier issues. But, books take up quite a bit of shelf space, I do use them for ideas, not just patterns. Regularly, I sort and give away unused items, usually to beginning quilters. Finally gave up the first quilting book I ever bought, Trudy Hughes first book, but it went to a daughter so I could borrow it,if need be. piecefully, the old one

I don,t know how many I have but they sure look pretty sitting on shelves in my sewing room.
When I am to tired to do anything else I will pull one out just to look and dream. I will never give up my hardcovers but have parted with some magazines.

I let all my subscriptions lapse because I saw nothing new in them for the last few years. So if we use the new fabric lines in the old patterns they look contempory and fresh.
Just couldn't justify more if the same.
My guild has a really good library so I buy very few books.
