About My Library
My collection mainly consists of hardcovers (books I want to keep forever) and mass market paperbacks (casual reading). I try to avoid trade paperbacks since they're less durable than hardcovers, yet more expensive and take up more space than mass market paperbacks.

I do a little collecting, but nothing fancy like getting expensive first editions. I have some signed books, but more for the memory of meeting the author than to have a valuable signed book.
About Me

I'm a fiftysomething programmer living in Silicon Valley. I'm a book collector, and a slow reader. I mainly read science fiction and cartoon collections, and also collect comic books.
