15,000 books and counting.

Over the years I have aquired all these comic books. So many that it has become sort of a logistical nightmare. Three years ago we had a fire in town that forced a complete evacuation. I packed up the family and grabbed about one long box of books I could not leave behind. My wife thought I was mad as I went through my collection while a fire was bearing down on us. Many of the books I packed that day hold little value, but I could not leave them behind (I just thought they were cool). I have never found a book I could treat as a throw away book. I now try to aquire mostly golden and silver age books. The ink they used back then stands off the paper and I love the way those old books smell. Maybe 15,000 is not so many after all. Gil Kane was the greatest,
