About My Library: Strong on British naval aviation - RNAS, Fleet Air Arm, carriers - from 1908 to modern day, with emphasis on pre-1942. General aviation collection - military (WW1, between the wars and WW2), civil and private aviation, mainly pre jet age. Royal Navy and other navies. A wide ranging general history collection, predominently British, also engineering/industrial revolution, railways. World War 1 is mostly the "Sideshows". A small eclectic collection of fiction (mostly stuff I enjoyed at a younger age), ballet, art and design, architecture and a large Batsford publisher selection. There is also a food and cookery collection which may be added at some stage.
About Me: Been collecting too many years to admit to. Current library is probably the third I've put together, emigrating from the UK to Canada did tend to concentrate the collection. Yes, I do regret some of the ones I let go but have not had to repurchase too many of them. Not that I would admit to anyway.
I would rather buy a book, read it, then pass it on than borrow one from the library. So, my collection often goes through an annual or bi-ennial purge, which also has the advantage of keeping it (more or less) under control.
Most of my collection are by preference hardbacks with dust jackets (which I am slowly uploading).
Pet peeve? Paperbacks masquerading as hard backs. Hard backs should by law (!?) be made from sewn sections. A curse on all cheapskate publishers.
