KAY Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Is there anyone who not only buys books to read but buys collectors additions hardbacks with gorgeous covers. I loved "shadows of the wind " and "the kite runner" so much that when i discovered their bound hard back version or variation in covers i had to buy them. They look quite old fashioned and special. they have a bookshelf all to themselves. If i like a book i also tend to buy other variations on the front covers. Quote
Liz Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I have a couple of Discworld books which are from a special Unseen University collection. They have lovely looking covers and there are beautiful drawings of maps of the Disc in them. Quote
princessponti Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I bought the Northern Lights trilogy in the beautiful collectors editions - I had to buy all three so that they would match, even though I've never read any of Phillip Pullmans books and don't know if I'll like them!!! Quote
NiceguyEddie Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I've got a few. The last one was Making Money. I normally buy two & flog one on Amazon or eBay to subsidise or sometimes even pay for mine. My second Making Money copy got Quote
Liz Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 NiceguyEddie - Was that the special boxed edition of Making Money? I bought one of those with the gold glitter on the cover. It looks very nice on my shelf. Quote
Icecream Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I have a few folio books, and I have purposely bought Harry Potter adult hardbacks, but I do not have any collectors editions. Quote
