I should take some pictures. They'd need to be staged though. I keep hardbacks, trade paperbacks and paperbacks on separate bookcases.

Didn't we do this one time before? I know my collection has grown slightly since then. It now encompasses an entire bookshelf. The top shelf has a lot of magazines, comics, and misc. items that would be hard to all lay out. The rest should be pretty easily seen...

Impressive!

But did I miss the collector's item, RASALOM SPEAKS--LET ME EXPLAIN?

Aphew, I still think you're FPW. :becky:

I've done this before, but my collection has grown since the last time. Some new additions include visible items, such as the signed/numbered/slipcased edition of THE TOMB from Whispers Press. Less visible items include the "Pelts" chapbook. Missing from the photos are duplicative mass market paperbacks (although the 1998 MMPB of THE TOMB is included as being a unique version of the text). Also not pictured is the "Do Gooder" broadside and the Repairman Jack replica bullet thing. Sadly, the slipcased edition of Gauntlet's THE DARK AT THE END has not yet arrived.

There's still a big list of things I'd like to get (such as the first edition UK hardcovers of NIGHTWORLD and LEGACIES), but I must say that once I got the Whispers edition of THE TOMB, I felt ready to retire from acquiring pure collector's items (as opposed to things I'll actually read) for a while.





Edited to add: Argh - I forgot that I had the Borderlands edition of BLACK WIND sitting nearby. If I'm not bothering to show it off to you people, why did I even buy it?!

Your collection looks awesome, Damin! Thanks for sharing.

Thank YOU. It's nice to share it with people who can appreciate it. I'm a lawyer, and this is in my office, so usually I just get weird looks and/and people asking me, doubtfully, if I've actually read all of them. The answer, of course, is that I've read almost all of them. They then usually still look doubtful or are shocked, as if reading books is some lost craft.

And as for why I haven't read all of them yet? I fear the day when there are no more unread FPW works for me.
