Oct 5, 2020 at 16:53 comment added Joe If it was spread across multiple rooms, there's a good chance that it was well over 300. If you have a moderate size bookcase (6 shelves, 3' wide (~91cm)), and books are 1 to 1.5" wide (2.5 to 3.75cm), that's 140 to 210 books per bookcase. Even a small bookcase (4 shelves, 2' (~61cm) wide) would hold about 48 thick (2" / 5cm wide) books. Although in practice it's a good idea to not pack an individual shelf too tightly
