| Celebrate and display your Star
Wars book collection. |
|
Reading a Star Wars book is the enjoyment of
immersing yourself in the stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away... But
once we have read one book, we will want to read the next so that we
can discover what happens next in the continuing stories of the
adventures of our Star Wars heroes (and villains). We may even be
inspired to seek out older books, or even try reading comic stories
as well as books, but whatever happens, after a few years we will
have begun to accumulate our own Star Wars books' library.
For many the enjoyment of reading becomes the excitement of
collecting but unfortunately, celebrating and displaying individual
book collections online is rather sparse. Other forms of Star Wars
merchandise collecting such as toy figures, sculptures and posters,
have numerous sites that allow collectors to celebrate and display
their collections for other collectors to view; so in an attempt to
correct this, Star Wars Books offer My Book Collection
- online space dedicated to celebrating and displaying the book
(and/or comic) collections of Star Wars book fans. |

To have your Star Wars book
collection displayed here is very simple - just send an email
with photos of your book collection!
So long as you are over 13 years old:
- take a few photos of your book and/or comic
collection and attach them to the email.
Please resize each photograph to approximately 1000x700
pixels before sending.
Do not personalise the pictures, i.e. do not have
photographs taken with yourself or anyone else in the picture.
You can display your book collection as you like, e.g. in a book
case, spread out over the floor - however you like, it's your
collection!
- tell us your name (or nickname).
- where you live (town/city, state/county,
country)
Do not send your full postal address.
- your age (please indicate if you would like
this published).
You must be over 13 years old.
- include a brief account of your Star Wars book
collection. Try including things like: how many books you have
collected so far, why you collect Star Wars books (do you only
collect a particular book type such as comics, etc?), when you
started (which was your first Star Wars book?), which book have
you just bought and why you bought it (was it particularly
difficult to find?), which book are you most pleased about
owning (is it rare? has a special cover? was it a limited
edition? something else?).
- it doesn't matter how small (or even how
large) your Star Wars book collection is - just celebrate it
with other book fans.
Once we have received your email, we will let you
know when we expect to publish your pictures. |

This is my collection of about 100 Star Wars graphic novels
and annuals. I started collecting them when someone gave me
all six issues of Dark Empire in the mid-1990's, but where I
live makes it hard to buy Star Wars comic books and so I have
concentrated on the graphic novels from Dark Horse. I have
just completed the 12 volume Dark Horse 30th Anniversary
hardback collection with volume 12: Legacy. Annuals are
a more recent addition to the collection, but I am pleased
with two Return of the Jedi annuals by Marvel I
discovered in a car boot sale for 50p each...more
