Comments on the Collection

My first ML hardcover was Plato's Republic. I just liked the look of it on my shelf. My second was a ML Chronicle book by Karen Armstrong since I read everything she's written. I actually started gathering the Chronicle books before collecting the classic series. I collect mainly regular 8s and giant 5s, however I will pick up other bindings if I have not been able to find an 8 or if the title was not published in an 8. As a general rule, I will pick 8+ titles that were not available in earlier bindings. My original collection did not include dust jackets, since I liked the uniform look of the bindings. I have since opted for djs where available. Mostly I keep a limit on what I will spend on a book; with some exceptions I will cap at $5 for classic bindings. I'll go up some on binding 17s that are in good shape and that are titles I would want in my library. Eventually I'd like a representation of every binding style in my collection. Shout out to Mckay books in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville as my primary source of these books.
