Oh. jh Send a noteboard - 29/06/2011 04:42:14 PM
do you purchase books specifically for collecting?

I'm not sure what you mean here?

I meant books that you imagine will have a certain value, for example. Rare books, first editions, especially pretty bindings.


Then I don't. I wasn't aware collecting implied a value in what was collected. :P
