    Let's just say that I need to buy a second bookcase - soon!

    Some of my books are fairly outdated, but I still keep them just for old times sake. ;)

    Most of my books are security related...

    Whoa, thats huge. I am not a fan of books at all. I learn by hands on work. I have never bought a book in my life and never plan to as the information is all free and found on the internet, from webdesign to coding to security.

    I have a couple of old Frontpage books, every dreamweaver for dummies book for the last 3 editions. Dreamweaver ata glance (which I have to say is the best of the lot). fireworks & photoshopcs at a glance (2 books of course :) ) teach yourself pfp in 24 hours (SAMS). css for dummies, and that is that.

    Not a bad collection for a guy who doesn't do Web design :D Don't have any on web marketing though as when I started years and years ago, there were no books, in fact there were no search engines to optimise for lol . Now there are no web books that interest me, apart from factuals & biographies etc

    I would think 50 is a safe number.

    Physical books are great for the, umm, restroom until you buy a wireless web browsing device. Hehe.

    Oh, too many books to list or remember...count all my computer books...we are talking 5-6 bookshelf units. I'm an older nerd, what can I say.

    php.net is all you need nowadays. Plus some HTML tutorial for when you forget how to make anchor tags etc. :eek:

    I do own the PHP Bible, Mastering phpMyAdmin, Web Hosting, SSL & TLS Essential, Visual Guide to PHP & MySQL, PHP4 & XML, SVG for Designers, Building Usable Shopping Carts and a boat load more.

    PHP Bilble was the best though.

    I've got about 40 on the shelf now. I used to buy them more often, but now it is very rare. Usually, I buy something because I need a nice overview of an area I know little about.
