Book Collecting

My father bought it when it came out because he loved Orwell and instilled a love of Orwell in me (my favorite novel of his is Coming Up for Air). I doubt this copy is worth much. It's got some folded page corners and, obviously, has lost the dust cover. But I treasure it.

Lovely example of an early penguin from the travel and adventure series. ! ! ! !

Super example of the work of the artist Rena Gardiner. Working from her home she produced guide books using the auto lithography process. The printed bound and distributed them herself. Very collectable now. ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I'm on a different instance than this community and no comments are showing up for me, even though I can see that they exist when I visit the community while not logged in from the lemmy.world server. It also keeps being stuck on "Subscribe pending" and won't actually subscribe to the community.

I have also had trouble posting anything about this problem here. Hopefully this gets through, as it is a heads up about why there may not be a lot of new users subscribing and engaging yet: They simply don't have access.

Hopefully lemmy.world will fix its server load problems at some time, so users outside of the instance are able to participate properly in the community.

One of the books that I found in the box from my other post.

I haven't counted if they are all there but it seems like someone has left all 26 volumes. Not sure if they have any value but they are pretty old.

Made a post on Reddit book collecting sub to offer alternative.

I've always been a huge fan of Asimov, so when I saw the new stylised collection I jumped at the opportunity to get them. Very happy with it!

Nice copy that I first sold over 20 years ago, It has now come back on the Market (I am NOT selling this book myself) ! ! ! ! !
