It had been Years since I've been able to fit all my PB books on one shelf.
For me it is easier to say which books I do not have then to say which ones I do have.

I'm not sure if I could put all of my palladium books on one shelf but I doubit it. The majority of my books are Palladium and they currently occupy two seperate shelves and some coffee table/ the top of my computer space.

I have my books in three massive stacks on a table - they wouldn't fit on a book case.

One stack is Rifts Books that are primarily tech books, the other Rifts books that are primarily about Magic/Psionic, and the third is Dimension Books, Rifters, and everything else.

I have mine organized by system, with Rifts taking up the top shelf and part of the second and the bottom being dominated by Palladium Fantasy and Rifters. I've recently had to pull some of the old TMNT supplements off to make room for books I actually reference. The rest of my collection is either stacked underneath the bookcase or beside it in a stack of boxes that is as tall as the shelves themselves. I really need a couple of bigger bookcases. :-(

I have mine in two egg crates, with HU2 books, ATB, AU and Rifters in one, with the other having my optional powers binder, weapons, bionics and magic books, and N&SS books. My collection is so pathetic. :(

My collection is housed in a eight foot by six foot srorage locker from home depot, TMNT's on top, Fantasy and after the bomb then rifts and Phase world take up the middle and my rifters take up the bottom, the drawers have Palladium mini's and the card game in them, Now after this year and a hopefully a good couple of grab boxes I will need a second set of shelves for my ever growing Palladium refrence library.

And there is never to many palladium books.

About $2000 worth, all collected in one trunk. One very heavy trunk.

It's not pathetic, it's just fledgling. You have to feed it a steady diet of cash and the blood of your players to grow it into an adult player-eating library. :demon:

I have One like this completely full of the collection books of Palladium.

I have one of These with all my Non Palladium stuff and my Super Whammy Palladium Books in the cabinet down below like my Original Rifts Gold #2.

I also have one of These with the three center shelves filled with my player copies in our dining room. On the top and bottom shelf I keep game accessories such as calculators, bags of pencils my home made GM's screen and the 10 to twenty folders and notebooks.

This was MOST of my books - I brought them up to the 2009 POH.

only 1 or 2 are duplicates, if that

Most of my Palladium books are in a couple of dressers. The drawers themselves are almost bursting, so I may have to move my 'odss & ends' contents to somewhere else to make room for the other books.
