A bookshelf dedicated to sketchbooks? That's what I do with poetry notebooks.
To be honest I kind of envy you, guys, even though I can imagine that's a real problem. I've been drawing all my life but I never learned to keep a sketchbook. I used to doodle on miscellanious scrap pieces of paper, and all my school handouts were always filled with sketches and doodles. Ever since I started to make handdrawn decos (booklets that are passed on from one artist to another until they're full and returned to the owner -- most people use printed or magazine pictures to decorate them, though) I've had little time to draw anything for myself to keep. I mostly work in traditional media and nearly always do the inking and colouring on top of the sketch. This means that more often than not I send my original art away and I'm left with nothing but a scan of my finished work. One ring binder is quite enough for all the sketches and originals I get to keep (i.e. art that is not used on decos or ATC cards)... But every now and then I wish I had more, I always envied people with sketchbooks filled with art! A separate bookshelf sounds like a good idea to me! I think I once saw some deviantART member selling off their old sketchbooks. If the pile gets totally unmanageable and the artist thinks they can do with scans of their work, I guess that's a viable option, too. Provided that you can find interested buyers, of course.

That's interesting- selling off one's old sketchbooks- I guess it depends on DA who it is someone might buy it, but does one give up rights to their sketches when they sell them?
