Yeah, i'm sure I could just throw them in a box, but I have so many of them i'd like to line them up in a small container to store as many in one small area.

I was thinking of using a photobox, but the manuals are a little too tall, I found some plastic shoeboxes, but the middle goes in a littlebit so that's a nogo as well.

Anyone have any solutions? If you've found a plastic shoebox that's large enough, what brand? Where did you get it?

Thanks!

I use a smallish Sterilite tub to fit all of my loose manuals in it. Fits about every manual mankind has made (except oversized ones, like the Virtual Boy manual, but it fits CD's and SNES manuals fine). You could probably get it at Wal-Mart. Has a purple snapable lid on top. It's stackable as well. Pretty good option for storing manuals, in my opinion.

Now do you put those longways? so you can flip through them and fit a ton? Or do you just stack them in there?

Thanks man :)

I just stack them, because it's not quite wide enough to sit them side-by-side. However, you could probably find a slightly wider tub available. If your Wal-Mart's like mine, it's got a whole aisle dedicated to plastic tubs. :P

If I had the choice to buy one, I'd probably pick one up that was a little wider. However, the one I use, I just had laying around the house, so that's what I decided to do with it.
