Your most treasured books
« on: November 22, 2024, 05:12:44 AM »
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

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

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
May God bless you as you seek to do God's will

I have all the Tolkien stuff in leather

I have the Easton Press “100 greatest books” in museum quality custom leader bindings

A couple of free will Baptist hymnals from 1836 and 1840

And of course, my complete collection of Hardy Boy books in hardcover from my childhood

Danger, Will Robinson.  You will be assimilated, confiscated, folded, mutilated, and spindled. Do not pass go.  Turn right on red. Third star to the right and full speed 'til morning.

I love the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Ruthfuss and of course anything by CS Lewis.
