Anybody is there interested in book collecting?

Oh man, I've purchased so many. I could spend fifteen years reading them all.

i'm intesrested in book UNcollecting. i have 100 books... and online training is so much more effective :(

Erik I would be interested in taking some off your hands if you had some package deal, I like books more that's just how I am, oldfashion.

If you could let me know which ones you have I would be very interested.

Same here. 

ha! i'd have to make a list. problem is i wouldn't get what they are worth i'm sure. maybe i'll just pass them down when i die so my kids can then drop them off at the Salvation Army...

Those books will be ancient by the time your kids get them .  They will be worth a lot.  So by all means, keep them!

Check out my book list. This is just a snippet of my favorites, a training book list to be exact.

I'm addicted to chess books. My favorite are the biography / game collection combo books, just fantastic.

I was meaning antique books. Have a look at this site:

Killabeez,

I've got a copy of Lasker's How to Play Chess from 1941.  Feel free to give me a lot of money for it, but don't you dare check how much people are selling it for on Amazon.

I love chess books, at least the modern ones. the books from the everyman chess series are especially great, since they do not bombard the reader with notations but instead add pictures (of the pieces) and annotations, which are amazingly helpful.

If you wish to collect, I suggest referring to these books, just 'cause they will be helpful should you actually decide to read them.
