Any ideas for storage for Owner's manuals?

Do any of you have an ingenious idea for storing all your owner's manuals in one, convenient place? My plastic shoe box is stuffed!

I have them in my file cabinet in my office. Yes, they take up a lot of space. I recently went through the file as I was donating a bunch of items and wanted to provide the owners manual with the appliance. Also in the same drawer are warranties.
Throw them out. You can get them online.
I just threw out a ton. I think that most things are on the internet now.
Keep them in a file box. If you resell them, they are worth more with the manuals. Also include them when you donate - it makes the charity more money. Also stable the sales slips in the event they break before the warranty is up. I would NEVER throw them away as long as you own the item. Companies go out of business, and you may not get them on the internet. You should have a file cabinet or file box for your household. Just set a file for these.
Ditto on the file drawer storage except that I place all paperwork about the new item and any replacement parts/screws etc. that come with it, into either a one gallon or two gallon ziplock plastic bag before placing in the file cabinet.
I put them in page protectors in a large 3 ring notebook. I also make a copy of the sales slip/invoice & put with the warranty for proof of age of the item.
