Have you thought of upgrading your bookcases to Ikea?

collectors gonna collect...   these two are sets of the book award winners and random house top-100 novels of the 20th century list.   I’m probably 2 years behind, but insofar as the award books are concerned (nba, pen-faulkner, booker, pulitzer...) they’re complete, tho’ many of the early pulitzers aren’t firsts. 

Stunning collection, Billy! Are there more?

Would love to see what you have on Gillon!

It takes me a while as my bookshelves are overloaded and I have to dig around...

But one wonders what lurks on those mysterious film canisters on the bottom shelf!

For the record, I love this bookcase.

Not possible to match the sheer quality of straw man's wonderful collection, but here is a closer look at some of my sci fi and fantasy books. [My brodart covers are just as good as his, dagnabit!]

I have over 50 hardcovers by CJ Cherryh [including some mixed in with my shelf of Phantasia Press], virtually all of her sci fi [- she writes fantasy too]. Anthropological sci fi at its finest. The early hardcover are only available in Book Club Editions. Her ongoing Foreigner series now runs to 21 volumes.

Not overly fond of Easton Press, though at least a ready way to collect a few sets - Dune, Anne Rice, The Mars novels...

I must check out James Lee Burke. I wonder if this would interest you, William?

Those White Wolf Eternal Champions get really hard to find the last few volumes.  You know there's one volume that came out in the corresponding UK series from Millennium that wasn't in the US series, right?  The New Nature of the Catastrophe.  (There are also a couple volumes in the White Wolf series that weren't in the UK version.)

I may have to pretend that one doesnt exist!
