Hi everyone,
I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan who got properly into reading and collecting the books about three years ago.
In that time I've built a collection that I wanted to share here as a long time reader, first time poster.
I am very minimalistic in my daily life: Star Wars books are my collecting outlet. I really enjoy the challenge of hunting down those I'm missing. The challenge of this is slightly increased being here in Australia, where there's just fewer around.
Pretty much all of the above has been gained from Marketplace bulk and thrift shopping. I'm working towards full adult novel collections for both Canon and Legends.
When buying books in bulk, you inevitably end up with duplicates. I only want one copy of each book in my collection, so when I have multiple editions of the same title, I prioritise keeping them in the following order:
I've been getting some good pickups lately and wanted to start sharing those here as I always love seeing what everyone is finding. I'll be posting hauls and an updated shelfies.
Thanks all!
P.S. About a year ago I decided to sell all of the books I'd read. I regretted that pretty much immediately. My Canon used to take up about 2 1/2 shelves.
