    The Stranger's Child by Alan Hollinghurst. Not something I would normally read but seemed interesting. I will get to it when it reaches the top of my TBR pile.

      The Complete Farside by Gary Larson. These are big and heavy books.

        These are our oldest books. Volumes 1 and 2 of the Manual of the Holy Catholic Church, published 1906. My grandpa found these in the attic of a house he bought. They are in pretty good shape for being 106 years old.

            I won this in a contest run by the author. Its part of a display for a bookstore that he signed.

                  Wow, looks great for something over a hundred years old! And those HP endpapers on the limited are really nice! O

                  Oh, and I think you can upload pics directly from your computer to the forum and just have them in the thread right away.

                    I tried but I was having issues doing so. I'll try again and see if I can get it to work.

                      I think I got the pictures posted so they show up a good size and don't have to be clicked to be viewed at a larger size.

                      This book belonged to a friend of my great great uncle who passed it on to my uncle and then to my family. It's called Why Winners Win and it is a sports psychology book. It was published in 1927.

                            First printing of the The Silence of the Lambs. Based on the condition of this book, I think its an unread copy or whoever owned it before me took really good care of it.

                              This book is called Styx by Christopher Hyde. Its a good book. I wouldn't consider it a collectible but I like it. Most of the books I read are more recently published where people use iPhones and laptops frequently, where this book was published in 1982 and one of the characters is a journalist who carries a portable typewriter around with him. Kind of interesting to see how far we have come technologically since the 80s.
