Book Collection : Dan

[Dan]

I finally took some photos. I am starting with the wide view of my library. Yes, I know there is Wonder Woman stuff on the wall. My wife and I recently swapped her craft room and my former library and I haven't had time to remove it yet.




The bottom row is all reading copies.

Nice collection you have there Dan.
I love a wall full of books!

[Dan]

Here are a couple of closer shots of my better books.






I was able to get Secretary of Dreams II with the 50% off coupon!

Thanks Noal! I have literally only been collecting since maybe November. I have been reading for years, but always purchased the paperbacks because they were cheaper.

Great stuff, man! Your Stephen King bookcase reminds me a lot of my own.

[ELazansky]

Nice stuff Dan. What version of The Catcher in the Rye do you have? I see it to the left of Carrie on another shelf. Is it just a reprint (like the super rare 49th printing that I have )?

[needfulthings]

WOW! THATS A LOT OF BOOKS IN 4 MONTHS.

Very handsome collection!!!!!

Looks great! And I like how you displayed the Blockade Billy baseball card.

I will check when I get home. I'm fairly certain its a BOMC version. Very good book, though.

Thanks! It cost $1.50 for the case and stand at the local baseball card shop.

I should have known but I'm sure I would have a hard time finding something like that in my not-so-baseball-minded country.

You remind me of myself when i started collecting. But with more focus, lol. Nice collection, i look forward to seeing how it grows.

Wow Dan, GREAT Wonder Wo---uh, I mean Stephen King collection!

I confirmed that I do, in fact, have a BOMC edition of Catcher in the Rye. It was printed in 1951 with the same DJ as the original. I bought it because I like the look of the book, wanted to read it and it was only $5.

Cool...my copy has the original DJ style as well. One of my favorite books of all time.

Collection looks great, Dan. I like the way you have it displayed too. Impressive stuff!

[Ben Staad]

Very nice collection. Congrats and please keep us updated.

[olverts]

Very nice collection Dan !!!

Good looking collection Dan. Now that you've ventured out into getting some of the gift editions, you'll be amazed how addictive collecting will become. You'll be getting S/Ls in no-time!

[Jimimck]

They look awesome all together in the bookcases. I also like the stand for the blockade card. I've got mine in a cardholder too so think I might try and find a stand for it too.

[Dan]

A couple more to add.
Shardik was purchased at the local used book store for $7.50. It is remainder marked but otherwise in great condition.







Vampyrrhic by Simon Clark was $10 at the same book store.





Here is my LOTR set. Rough condition, but they were only $1 each. They are good reading copies.

[Ben Staad]

Love the J.R.R. books. Those look like a classic (and beloved) set of books should look...well read.

[DanHocker]

I have that exact set of Tolkien books, minus the guide to middle earth. But I have The Sillmarillion and Untold Tales. Mine are in a lot worse condition though.

[Stockerlone]

A very nice collection !!!!!
