You're not flipping the bozo bit on me, are you? Real people don't need to call their colleagues.... Oh, never mind. :)
I like the color coded arrangement, even though it leads to strange subject groupings and separations.
I note two copies of Learning GNU Emacs in your collection which do not appear to be different editions. We won't disqualify the whole entry, though. ;)
Extra points for owning UNIX Text Processing!
There is no orange in your entire collection, so it looks quite a bit different from mine. [Okay, Windows annoyances books are a different shade of orange, but I have the same book. Got it free. :)]
