<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1960278, member: 6641&quot;]LOL - Those are just the ones in my office.&nbsp; I have a few more bookcases in another room.&nbsp; It&#039;s only over the last couple years that I have started growing my collection in earnest.&nbsp; The cost of some of those books shown far outweigh what I normally spend on coins.&nbsp; My wife doesn&#039;t understand my fascination with the paper version when we both do the majority of our reading using our devices.&nbsp; I love them and am ocd about caring for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My most notorious book in my collection is &quot;The Hunt for Red October&quot; a 1st/1st - one of only 1000.&nbsp; It&#039;s claim to fame beside the story and author is this is the book mentioned here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2009/05/did-you-buy-a-signed-tom-clancey-on-ebay-um.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2009/05/did-you-buy-a-signed-tom-clancey-on-ebay-um.html" rel="nofollow">http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2009/05/did-you-buy-a-signed-tom-clancey-on-ebay-um.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have met Tom Clancy and he autographed for me Patriot Games not to far from the sub base in New London CT.&nbsp; When I thought I had an opportunity to pick up 1 of the 1000 original THfRO, I jumped at it.&nbsp; I read it the 1st time on my first sub patrol. I had hoped to meet him again to correct the wrong that had been done to the copy I have but didn&#039;t get the chance before he passed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
