>I always wanted a study so when we decided to buy a house we came across this house with the huge game room and 4 bedrooms, etc. The builder needed to unload the house and offered it to us for several thousand less than my appraiser valued it at. I finally had place to put all my books, etc in one place.

I use the other arrangement. Bookcases all over the house, books piled on every flat surface including three and four foot high piles against the walls on hallway floors, and boxes piled up in the basement. There are only two real problems with this arrangement. First, I can't find anything, and secondly, I have four cats, so I have to keep re-piling the books.
