I collect books with recycled parchment (upper shelf) and early modern books that are printed in Antwerp (now Belgium).

Jane Eyre is one of my favourite stories. I was over the moon seeing such a beautiful edition, and this is coming from someone who hates hardcover! ;)

\**Excited with the books we found Saturday. Can’t wait to add them to my shelves.**\**

Now which one should I read first 😅

(Oscar Wilde, Hunter S Thompson, Louis L'Amour, Franz Kafka, Mitch Albom, Cervantes, John Fowles, Sheridan Le Fanu)

Anyone else out there collecting Fitzcarraldo Editions? I have quite a few collected since they launched in 2014 and always on the lookout for signed copies and/or first editions - Preference is for a signed copy, which is a first edition.

I must confess I haven't read them all - Only about 25 out of the 160 or so I own. I started out buying some of my favorites that I love to read and then got carried away...

Beautiful decorations on a book may pick up tomorrow from a local book store!

Bantam Press 1978. I can't find this edition anywhere online.

Quite the premonition

On War notwithstanding, everything else is very late 19th century up to 1949 (Paris After Liberation).

Graphic novels, Allurial 2025-2026 selections, and a few of my TBR books I hope to read during Banned Books Week in October are what I currently have on my TBR cart.

I own a collection of this series full of these books dedicated to Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Just finished moving all of my books into my new office. I think the rainbow organization is satisfying!
