I am beginning my journey of collecting books. My wife and I have decided that, over time, we want to have enough to fill a study and have an impressive, and enjoyable collection. I understand that that is extremely subjective, but for myself personally, I am wanting to start off with books that are “special.” They don’t necessarily have to be valuable, but respectable. I think I’d like an old copy of Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or The Hobbit, or something from C.S. Lewis. My first contribution, is a signed, 1st edition of Richard Dawkins’ Genetic Book of the Dead. Of course it isn’t poetic, or an epic tale, but it is special in its own right. I am visiting an antique book store tomorrow, and I would love some recommendations on books to look for. Again, I know this is subjective, but I have confidence in your choices, given what I have seen here already.

Thanks a lot!
