Just had a proper browse through as I couldn't sleep last night/this morning - and wow !! I regard myself as a fairly seriously collector with my collection running to hundreds of books, but some of you folks make me look like a novice.
How you can know about a print error on a certain page, qualities of paper from different countries and many other tiny details amazes me.
I don't think I'll ever take it to that level, but I doff my cap to you nonetheless
PS Staying awake is a costly business. I also bought "The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun" Houghton Mifflin and a Ballantine paperback box set from 1973 (has anyone go t the 1966 set ?)
Keep up the good work

I think it’s a safe bet a lot of us here have the ‘66 set.
From right to left: ‘65, ‘66, ‘67 Ballantine sets and a ‘65 ACE set.
I'm beginning to realise that my "serious" collection hasn't even scratched the surface.
I'm almost beginning to wish I hadn't joined the site - this could be a very expensive mistake

Time and patience always pay off. There are some here that have been doing this for 40 years or longer.
