Those are some very impressive paperback books. Wow. Great books. Wish I had your job. Hanging around books all day. Hard work I am sure but still probably lots of fun.Leave a comment:

I guess I should introduce myself since I haven't said much up until now. I've been a horror fan since I was about 13 (41 now) I was never into collecting much until about 4 months ago. The company I help run is, among other things, in the liquidation business. Mainly we focus on furniture but a few months ago, I had the opportunity to liquidate thousands of books, which I did and opened a book corner in our retail store. There was something about being around so many books that triggered the collector bug in me. When I was you, anger I always wanted to collect, but could never afford it, and now that I can, I've gone a bit crazy the last few months. The books I collect are all over the map. I'm a big Stephen King fan, but collecting King is a tough nut to crack, so along with King, I've focused on Joe Hill, Joe R. Lansdale, David J. Schow, Robert Block and F. Paul Wilson, to name a few. I'm also really big on anthologies, primarily from the 50's on, I've got some signed/limiteds, as well as a lot that aren't all that valuable. Since I work full time during the week, most of my weekend days are spent cataloging my personal collection and inventorying all the books I'm selling in my store, and my hopes are eventually to make enough money selling books in my store to support my habit. I'm not quite there yet though.Leave a comment:
