I've read practically all the books written about Johnson's library. And nowhere have I read that Johnson limited his library to 3000 books. Boswell makes no mention of any library limitation in his Life of SJ, nor is any such quotation attributed to Johnson.

I have a number of older quotation books, none of which contains a "one book in, one book" quotation or anything similar. I suspect the quotation has sprung up sometime in the last seventy-five years.

Johnson did have approximately 3000 books in his library, which went up for auction after he died – some scholars say there were 2922 books. But the number of books in his library was not controlled by design.

best,
Jerry Morris

I'm am honoured that you have included my library in your list of interesting libraries.

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that Samuel Johnson instituted a "one in, one out" policy once his library got to 3,000 volumes. I can't find the reference, but it's a thought.

Hello! My, my, it looks like we cross(ed) both bookish and geographical paths. Even before I looked at your tags I thought, "A hispanophone of Italian extraction in England?--must be Argentine". Very nice to meet you--your library at least.

You can borrow my translation for comparative purposes if you like. The film adds several absurdities of its own, by the way – it opens with Wittgenstein writing the Tractatus in no-man's-land with shells exploding all around him, and goes on to talk about the exciting new proof of ‘Bormat's Last Theorem’...
