I don't understand the logistics of possessing 1800 books. That is so many books. Did you live in a library?
My parents have between 1,000 and 3,000 books.. Even they aren't sure.
Last time they were neatly arranged I was a child.
Right now they have 3 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked as densely as possible, 3 books deep, with as many stacked In and laying on top as can fit Ina rectangle 10ft tall, 4ft wide, and 18ish inches deep.
Plus a handful of waist high shelves, multiple moving boxes filled up that haven't been emptied since they moved in2017 and a ton scattered all over the house..
They have more fantasy/Sci fi books than every library in a 50 mile radius combined.
I still have less than 30 books to my name since most of mine are digital, but I've been going to half price books looking to get physical copies of everything.
One side of my bedroom wall was a built-in bookshelf. We're talking about 4m in length and 2m in height. Some shelves had double-stacked books.
But you are right; the logistics are nearly impossible. I moved out of my parents' house in the mid-90s, but they still keep most of my books there for me. I have my own house and family now, but my wife threatened divorce if I "cluttered" our house with all the books. My hope lies in my kids inheriting my love for reading and bringing over my books themselves.
Storms, that would drive me nuts. Then again, I don’t have 1800 books. 😅
