| Re: Heinlein Collection
You guys are actually quite lucky to be starting out collecting them now... especially if you haven't read them all yet. It's all ahead of you.
I have anywhere between 1 and 5 copies of everything he wrote in paperback. I know hardcovers are worth more and whatever, but I just love paperbacks. I thinks its because I'm all about reading the books and nothing's better for that than the pb's. And I love the pulp covers. I basically got into buying another copy whenever I found an older printing or one I had but in better condition, or the occasional foreign cover.
I'd actually love to take a picture of them all laid out on the floor or something, but they're all in boxes in the garage til I move outa this apartment (sigh). Even though I just said paperbacks are the best for reading, I'm stuck reading them on my handheld til the move.
But, in the interest of saying something useful, when you've given up on the local Mom and Pop shop for those last few books, you've always got Ebay.. just remember to add the shipping to what you're willing to pay for that gem. And it sure made it easy for me to get the British printings I wanted.
Have fun, and don't dog-ear them!
