My CollectionDo you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

BookishI used to collect books. Boxes and boxes of lovely lovely books. However, I also have the attention span of a cedar waxwing who's been at the fermented berries so I can't stay in one place for very long, and books are heavy, so I decided to take a few hundred of them in and exchange them for, well, other books... but the way it works is you get one for every 25 or so that you bring in. Now when I feel the need to bolt, I am less encumbered.
At the moment I've got it down to religious books, Penguin classics (goes without saying really), old psychology textbooks with humourous remarks written in, recipe books, and a really stunning and readily available (for a price) collection of pre-1984 Stephen King and Harlan Ellison.
Takers?
(Also collected boyfriends but they won't fetch me much of a price on eBay as mostly they were defective.)
