As we have a thread for pictures of blu-rays I thought I would share pics of my favourite literature collectibles*. My George RR Martin slipcased hardcovers... And my deluxe Lovecraft and Howard collections. Silly thing about collecting these is that I usually read in bed but these bloody things are so heavy they're not really suitable (and A Storm of Swords would probably break my wrist) so I keep my paperbacks as reading copies.

I have so many Lovecraft collections now I think I have most of the stories about six or seven times over but when I saw those black and golds I just had to have them. Lovely illustrations too, I'll post a pic shortly.
The blue Lovecraft collection on the far left is the one to have though, all stories introduced and newly edited by ST Joshi (from the original manuscripts so all of August Derleth's tamperings that have been present in just about every publication since the 1940s have been eradicated). It's a beauty.

I don't really have anything cool enough to warrant a close up but here's my small book collection. Here's a more impressive collection belonging to my parents in some nifty antique bookcases they have.

Love those bookcases. I'm not generally one for shopping but bookcases make me go all giddy.
