: I'm curious what everyone individually means when discussing their : "complete" collection. That could mean different things to different folks. : Could mean " i have one copy of every book Andre Norton has written and that ranges from paperbacks, ex-library books, hardback firsts, some non-first hardbacks, some with jackets some without." : Or does it mean I have only true first editions in spectacular condition. : Do we get a title in whatever shape we find and hope to upgrade later? : Is the collection "complete" if all the books are there but the Bertie and May is a british first and not a u.s. first?? Lots of variables including ,is my last name Rockefeller, when it comes to "completing" a Norton collection. Kind of a rambling query i know, but thought i'd see what anyone had to say about it. Collect On!! Ed
Paul here-
Complete, hmmm. Well, I guess that (for me) a complete collection would be: 1) A hardcover copy(Signed, of Course) of every Norton book that has appeared in hardcover. 1ST editions in Fine condition would be nice but, Bill Gates, I am not. So any (Yes, even ex-library copies[someone wave the smelling salts under Irene's nose,please]are fine with me. 2) at least 2 copies of all the softcover-only Norton 1st editions. 3) all of Her short stories(preferably in the first apearance) 4) All of her poetry 5 Anything else that She has written in any form Everything signed of course later--Paul
