: : 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: For me it would very simply mean that anytime I wished I could enjoy whichever story I wished. I enjoy the book not the edition
: Ed too! You know,Ed, you have cut to the very heart of the matter. Accessibility is the important issue. All else may be just vanity. Thank you for the clarification. I think that, deep down, accessibility is the true goal of any fan. --Paul
