Wonderful collection. I love the presentation and the obvious care given to each of your books. Very nice.

Love your collection.Some really super books you have there.

I use Broadart, primarily because they are easy to get since Powell's carry's them. I would probably go with Gaylord if they were readily available.

Love what you are showing as well!

Love all these you're showing!

I tried boadart and ended up going with Gaylord with the adhesive strips.

It's not such a bad job, Pete. Surprising how many you can get done in an hour or so. I'm sure I've seen a jig somewhere that holds the d/jacket and helps to fold and align it with the cover. Might have been a 'Gaylord' product.

Love all the Herberts, especially that edition of The Fog!

I've been meaning to start getting all of mine covered for a while now. Guess i should look into picking up some Broadart covers...

TJ, I've been collecting for about 18 years - but have been very stop/start. Lots of things have come up that have put a hold on my collecting - moving interstate, getting married, buying/renovating a house, having a child, etc, etc. I always return to it though. I started off with wanting nice editions of my favourite books - King, Barker, Campbell - then I read 'The Stephen King Companion'. It had a heap of info about signed/ltd and 1st editions, and who published and sold them. I was hooked. But, living in Australia meant writing letters to booksellers, then waiting to hear back from them. Buying books I had to get an international money order, post it, then wait for the parcel to arrive. Much easier these days, but damn I miss the 'good old days'!
And no, I'm nowhere near reading them all.

How long did it take to gather up this collection, and have you read most/all of them?

Very cool indeed!

What kind of covers do you use on your dust jackets?

Pete, most of my dustjackets are in 'Brodart' dj protectors, the pre-cut ones, 10" high. I also tried a different brand that comes as a roll and you cut to length. These ones look fine, but the clear film is a lot thicker than the Brodart. It's amazing how much the thicker film bulks up the book.
