750 volumes. How do they break down?

I've been saying for some time, incidentally, that we need to do this as a little photo gimmick. A few hundred volumes of something uniform
- doesn't really matter what, as long as they're uniform and not
immediately recognisable - and someone sitting amongst them. Give an idea of the scale.

I think it'd be amusing if some philanthropist (or a geek with money burning a hole in their wallet...) took a dump, had a printer do a run and bound up all the scores of volumes and donated it to the Library of Congress.
Actually, it wouldn't even have to be an arbitrary dump. I understand the 2 millionth article is going to be written Real Soon Now. It would be nice if we had some commemoration of the milestone a little more concrete than some news coverage and a Wikinews article or two.
