5. Revise the donation bibliography deleting the books one just can't do without.

4. Give the undeleted books to the Museum Library.

1. Re-arrange the numismatic books again and again until one gets it right. Continue as required.

I've just done some housecleaning myself – first the garage, then my file cabinet, my desk, and finally my library. After throwing out junk and selling/giving away stuff I didn't need, I was left with a much cleaner and organized office. I miss some of my “stuff”, but I'm happier with what I've kept. -Editor
