How much to save? A question for my fellow writers

[pbray]

As I'm in the process of PACKING ALL THE THINGS, I'm taking a hard look at my collection of file boxes. For every book I have hardcopy of all versions, from the first submission through revisions, copyedits and galleys. That's a lot of paper, and I'm wondering if it's finally time to let some of it go.

So how about you? What do you save when you're done with a project?

I keep drafts in a file on hard storage (off-computer). I keep author copies. I recycle/shred everything else. Why make it easy on that far-future grad student?

(also: I am by nature NOT a hoarder, and I live in a NYC apartment. Every square foot counts!)

I figured square footage of living space would influence the answers :-)
