I'm finding this ''40,000 books'' thing mildly interesting.
 
For example;
 
40,000 books would weigh about 10 metric tons. Where would you put them?
 
How would anyone amass that amount of books? If you started when you were 10, and lived till 80, you'd have to buy 570 books a year.
 
Why would anyone own more books than it's humanly possible to read in 3-4 lifetimes?
 
I think he means 4,000.

It's called a library. I can't amember the details, but my recollection was that Pedro's father played a serious role in the book world there so it makes sense to me.

 
He says that he 'grew up in a house with 40,000 books of literature', he didn't say he grew up in a library.

I mean a "library" like the name of a particular room in a mansion, like this:

Ya, but wouldn't 40K books would need a much bigger room than that Hearst Castle room?
