Quote 214 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Up and to my chamber, doing several things there of moment.  And
then comes Simpson the Joyner, and he and I with great pains
contriving presses to put my books up in; they now growing
numerous, and lying one upon another on my chairs, I lose the use,
to avoid the trouble of removing them when I would open a book.
		-- Pepys' Diary, 23 Jul. 1666
