srboone's collection

[srboone]

Folio's editon.Ilike it but did not get anything else from them.At the time it was about the price not the quality.As you can tell I now understand how importan both are.

But you see, BW, I'm at the end of my collection. I've got some CD anthologies that have been posted multiple times in these threads, so I'm not rushing them out; It's paperbacks, trade HCs and new acquisitions now--I waited on the folio editions til the end also. You've got most of yours still ahead of you!

Ok I'll give you that.Iwas only busting your chops anyway.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with PB's, trades, etc - they're still great currency in my book !!! You'll be posting until the cows come home Squire, never fear

Your collection will be growing for years to come.We all look forward to more.Soon I plan on posting some of my jazz stuff among other things.Our collections are not done as long as we get creative and are passionate about it.

And the first volume has a handy-dandy diagram of the sail set of a square-rigged ship (for those of us who have never sailed an 80 gun, 19th century HMS)!
