[My Book Collection]
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.

Mark Elwood, Atlanta, USA
"I collect for the stories. I was first exposed to the expanded universe probably with the Ewok movies as a kid. I know I was very excited to learn there were additional stories that take place in the same universe as the films.
My first novel was "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" and then I think "Truce at Bakura" [...] I decided that Star Wars was going to be my thing, and I was going to try to know everything there was to know about it. I have been collecting seriously for the last 5 years or so and casually before that for about 15. Most of my collection is used books, but I do pick up new items now and then [...] I have a blog[External site - opens in a new window/tab] where I go over some of the necessary challenges when dealing with a collection like this such as: Helpful software for cataloging your collection. Various fun ways of displaying it. The best places to look for used books etc.

"I have been a huge fan of all things Star Wars since I was 5 years old and really started to get into the expanded universe about 2 years ago with the first 2 Darth Bane novels. All my novels are paperback and I have collected approx 116 to today with the release of Riptide, I also own a full set of KOTOR graphic novels and some other graphic novels, a few hardback reference books and of course the holy grail that is The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. I am currently reading my paperbacks in chronological order and am half way through the NJO series which I am really enjoying, but I still have a ways to go until I reach Fate of the Jedi. My top books to recommend so far would be the Darth Bane Trilogy, Labyrinth of Evil and Darksaber" ...more pictures

Raúl Ledezma, Mexico City, Mexico
"I'm a big Star Wars fan since I remember, so I try to collect all stuff including movies, soundtracks, novels, comics, toys, collectibles, posters, standups, videogames, etc.
I started to collect the books in 1996 with Shadows of the Empire, I'm focused on adult novels and recently comic collections such as Legacy, maybe later when I run out of fresh releases I will concentrate on young reader novels and children books

Lee Weinberg, New York City, USA
"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 it always costs more to buy hardcovers, I like the reading experience and I really like how they all look on the shelf (as opposed to paperbacks)."...more pictures

Gertrude Perkins, Inverness, Scotland
"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 pictures
