Yes, you do. The fact that you collect the books you have makes it a collection worth posting. Some books are worth beaucoup bucks (though that's all theoretical until you find a buyer), some have sentimental value (a favporite of mine is a shitty 18th print pb of The Shining from 1980 that was the first King work I ever read http://forum.cemeterydance.com/showt...lection/page16 starting with #306), some you just don't know why you have, but they are all worth showing in a thread.
No everything in these massive threads are books http://forum.cemeterydance.com/showt...llection/page6, so post away. What can it hurt?"I'm a vegan. "

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.
Lincoln.
