Let me explain about this thing called 'Ledgister's principle' -- Books expand to fill the shelf space dedicated to them, and then overflow. I believe it it caused by access to a large South American river and its many tributaries.

And having babies only slows the flow down a little (as I found out when I was the primary care provider for my own children back in the late 80s when the said South American river was only a dream, but New York City was a place abounding in second-hand bookshops, and the Strand and Forbidden Planet did look upon each other).
