1. Decide what you want to collect. We have a list of suggested collectible's but perhaps you have a favorite author, illustrator or series you enjoy. The possibilities are endless and that's what makes this so much fun.
2. There are several websites devoted to book collecting. Check them out for a more in depth study of the subject.
3. Buy the best books you can afford. A first edition will usually be more valuable, however that doesn't always mean it is worth collecting. The condition of the book is important, there are many different systems of rating a book but to make it fairly simple we have just decided on A, B, and C. Never collect anything under a B, C signifies a copy in not the best shape and may be suitable for reading only. (in some hard to find titles you might have to settle for a C until a better copy comes along.)

I would enjoy hearing from you and will appreciate any suggestions or ideas you might have about this site. Fax us, phone us, or just stop by and let us know if you are interested in collecting. If you are looking for books that are not on our list of collectibles, let us know the title and if it's in the store we will find it!
