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.

I think I was extrapolating from the "collectibility" idea. I have never quite grasped it.

Addendum to previous survey: do you hoard books or pass them on/sell them when you are done?

I don't hoard books, they just have a tendency to end up in my presence.

As of now, I still have room on my bookshelf so I don't need to get rid of anything.

I wouldn't say I collect books for collection's sake, but I don't get rid of them either
