What are your most treasured books, collection of books, etc.? I'll start, in no particular order:
- The whole of Kierkegaard's authorship, translated Howard and Edna Wong. (I'd like to find slipcase / hardcover editions!)
- Harper Collins' deluxe slipcover versions of the whole of Tolkien's authorship!
- Slipcase editions of The Chronicles of Narnia (Harper Collins)
- Clothbound edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
- Hendrickson Publisher's 14-volume edition of Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics
- The Everyman's Library editions of the classics: Dostoevsky, Orwell, Camus, Huxley, etc.
- A goatskin leather NASB gifted to me by a coworker who had bought it for her husband, only to learn he cheated on her with her best friend
- Various Oxford Annotated NRSV editions, e.g. 3rd, 4th, waiting on 5th
-
I'm afraid I can't limit the list to fit here. The easiest would be to list some of the authors.
Mercedes Lackey
Lilian Jackson Braun
Rex Stout
Just to name a few
