"I’ve always been a huge fan of the movies, but I really started collecting books about three years ago when I bought a cheap copy of the Thrawn Trilogy on eBay. I devoured those books and started buying more and more EU books – most of them could be had for cheap on eBay. I have always loved hardcovers, so that was the original focus of my collection. Even though is always costs more to buy HC, I like the reading experience and I really like how they all look on the shelf (as opposed to paperbacks).

I’ve recently been buying more and more comics and young adult novels, but I still have a ways to go on both of those categories. I keep finding more and more young reader books that I had never heard of or seen. There are probably another 70 or so that I don’t have, including Jedi Apprentice, Galaxy of Fear, SW Adventures, SW Journal, movie novelizations…whew.

Right now, my collection includes:
About 80 hardcover books, although many of them are really 3-in-1 or 2-in-1 editions
About 50 comic trade paperbacks
45 young reader books
Some other assorted books – x-wing series, Chronicles, Making of SW, original trilogy storybooks, etc.

My most prized items are the rare hardcover editions of the first two Lando Calrissian books and NJO: Traitor. I also love my three volume set of original newspaper strips from the 1980s."

impresive collection having all them in hard back iv got every book to date so far in a mixture of hard back and paper back just waiting for some new ones to come out

impressive collection....i collect star wars books and comics as well and you could say i just re-aquired a great deal of my collection.(my crazy ex-girlfreind took a match to my previous set of books,comics,etc.).but i have managed through ebay and other places to find everything that i had lost.agian very impressive collection.

Thanks for the comments!

Wow !! Im from puerto rico and the funny thing is, I too have the same collection, minus the youth novels. I even have the same furniture, jejeje got it on Walmart.

Nice collection! Looks similar to mine, though I don't have much youth, just the Young Jedi Knights collection. Though I'm missing most of the NJO in HB.
What's that title between Rogue Planet and Outbound flight?

I would hazard a guess at it being Jedi Quest: Path to Truth by Jude Watson

Yes, that's correct -- it is the HC edition of Jedi Quest.  Thanks for the compliments.
