Need any reading material to get through the boredom?
Me too, except I already have about 1000 books too many.
While doing a Coronavirus spring cleaning, we pulled out my collection of hard-bound Automotive Quarterly books. It started with a profile of Phil Hill as first US F1 winner and finally petered out 52 1/4 years later when the company went out of business.
I remember going to Detroit for business and stopping in at King’s bookstore downtown (around 1988-89) and seeing a set of 25 years or so for sale. Impulsively I bought the whole set and shipped them to San Diego.
Then I contacted AQ and started my own subscription for another 27 years. Gads.
This was a typical one-make issue, with multiple articles on Oldsmobile. 
Hmm. What now.

Very cool set of books! 52 years? 4 issues a year; 208 volumes! That takes up a lot of space! I'm looking at some of my bookshelves and the shelves are sagging from the weight of all my books. Watch auction catalogues are sitting on the floor, stacked fou...
Not that much room, but a lot of weight
About 9 feet of shelf plus another foot for indexes and specials = 10 ft And 6 lbs/yr x 52 = 312 plus some for the indexes let’s say 320 lbs
