Re: Addendum to previous survey: do you hoard books or pass them on/sell them when you are done? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 30/06/2011 11:37:46 AM
I meant books that you imagine will have a certain value, for example. Rare books, first editions, especially pretty bindings.


Ah, if it was a book I loved I might well do that but not because of the value just that it would be nice to have the best copy I can of it. I've done that with Sherlock Holmes - I had the stories spread over three cheap paperback editions but have upgraded to a single really nice hardback edition, I don't care if by some strange quirk of fate if it has less vlaue though:P
