WHo collects books? What is your repertoire? Why do you collect? where do you get your collectilbe books?

i like to collect books i enjoyed when i was young. on the website abebooks.com, there is a forum called booksleuth where people post questions about books they're trying to find but have forgotten the title, author, etc. sometimes, these posts help me remember books that i once read & loved but have forgotten about so it's a good memory-stimulator. then i buy copies of the books from used book sites. you can compare the condition of the book & prices on several sites at once to get the best buy. these volumes aren't worth anything but i love rereading these stories that once meant so much to me!
