Book Collectors

A group for the discussion of books that are desirable and of interest to collectors. We like all subjects related to book collecting, including themed collections, first editions, old books, archiving, taking care and storing collections, distinction between a "collection" and an "accumulation" of books, and more.
This could be a place to share tips and post want lists. The possibilities are endless.
