Banker boxes, to be exact.

55 boxes of bankers on the wall
55 boxes of bankers
If one of those boxes should accidentally fall
There'd be 54 boxes of bankers on the wall

I don't think baseball cards count as books.

I know that bankers aren't exactly popular at the moment, but putting them in boxes seems unkind.

They're the collection of the late Patrick Clancy. I'll be sorting them out to see what I don't already have and moving the extras to certain libraries for further handling. The documents are all one-of-a-kind items I will be digitizing for a government agency which will remain nameless. I was just kind of musing in the OP, no solid point to the post.
