Bibliophiles 43 books / 102 members / 76 posts This group is for the Shelfari member who is interested in editions, who enjoys a first edition and really enjoys a signed first edition. This group is for people who have a list of books they've been searching for at used bookstores, garage sales, estate sales, library sell-offs and the like. This is not meant to be a pompous group, but rather a group that appreciates the artwork on the original cover, or a good hard-bound edition that's been around for many years and, with good care, will be around for many more.
So join this group and add any nice editions that you have to the group shelf and we'll talk collecting.
As for the shelves, use the "Books We've Read" shelf for first edition, antiquarian, or collectible books you own and use the "Books to Read" shelf for books that you'd like to add to your collection.
