    Hey all,

    Having only recently really started to get into Star Trek literature in a serious way, I thought it might be cool to see pictures which showcase all/part of your book collections! I know a lot of you will have eBooks these days, but I'm hoping there are at least a handful of you out there who will still prefer to collect the physical copies!

    I'll get this thread started with an image of all of the physical copies I have so far. I have quite the collection of books, just not many Star Trek ones! I'm currently reading Star Trek Titan: The Red King on eBook, but will no doubt add a physical copy to my collection in the near future.

    3TGoriq

    From left to right:

    • Star Trek Titan: Taking Wing
    • Star Trek: A Time to Be Born
    • Star Trek: A Time to Die
    • Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Avatar Book One of Two
    • Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Avatar Book Two of Two

    Section 31: Abyss is currently making its way to me and I am really looking forward to adding that to the shelf. My only wish was that they released these in hardback format! Anyway, feel free to share pictures of the books you have!

    These days my collection would be a photo of my Kindle but somewhere I have the 'A Time To...' series, the first few 'Titan' books (up to The Red King), the 'Invasion!', 'Starfleet Academy' (which came free with the game) and 'Death in Winter' which a former colleague bought me but I didn't actually end up reading until some time after I got it. I'll have to see if I can dig them out some time.

    My collection has been growing nicely over the last few months. I read Star Trek novels almost exclusively on my kindle now, but I plan to buy the physical copies when I see them going for a good price. I'll be struggling for room on my bookcase soon!

    Books. Love books. A kindle or tablet will never replace the feeling of holding a book. Smile

    I only have three Star Trek collections. "A Time to...", "Vanguard", and the "Titan" novels. Of those, I have read "A Time to..." maybe four times. "Vanguard" twice. "Titan" has been rough, as I only read it once. It has to be that of those three collections, for me... Titan's characters didn't 'grab' me as much as "A Time to..." (obviously due to TNG love) and "Vanguard" had some really good ones that held my interest. But that can be an entirely different discussion for another time.

    For other non-Star Trek novel collections, I have a few Star Wars ones. The X-Wing series is by far among my favorite. Particularly the Wraith Squadron story arc and the capstone, "Starfighters of Adumar". The old "Heir to the Empire" trilogy I have in actual hardback.

    For non-SciFi, I have some collections of James Clavell, Harold Coyle, Stephen Coonts, and Larry Bonds. My favorite collection are the James Clavell novels. "Shogun", "Taipan", "Noble House", and "Gaijn" are my among my Top Ten List. Coyle, Coonts, and Bonds are just entertaining, but I also found their characters very gripping and memorable.

    Don't even get me started. I definitely love the kindle, but if I really enjoy a book I make a point of buying a physical copy of it! Best of both worlds for me, haha.

    As you can see, I have a bit of an unhealthy habit of collecting fine editions from Easton Press and Folio Society...

    Laugh, after this last *FULL* picture, your first one was the tip of the iceberg. Smile

    Look at all of those wonderful book collections underneath. With a scattering of BB-8, an Andorian, and some Fireball firewater! Wink

    So, this is my collection of some, not all, Star Wars stuff I have collected over the past few years Smile

    The next lot are from a company called De Agostini and they do something called the Star Wars Helmet Collection. This is what I've recieved so far:

    BdGygya

    And of course, what collection would be complete without my very own Remote Controlled BB-8?

    Also, How could I forget my very own ForceFX Darth Vader's Lightsaber Big Grin

    Left to right

    - Tech manuals (what can I say, I'm an engineer so I enjoy fictional tech detail) + SCE compilation.
    - Middle are the survivors of what has been an up-n-down collection of the early PocketBook novels stretching back to university days. Thinned out by unreturned loans, charity sales and those that vanished to the same dimension as the odd socks, during various house moves.
    - Far right are Shatner's Memories and his book on directing ST:V - unfortunately post-production but pre-theatrical release so doesn't cover critical feedback
    - Front Left Andrew Robinson's novel that used to be as rare as rocking horse manure with crazy 2nd hand prices, but thankfully is now back as an affordable digital release
    - Front Right Kindle now holds my current purchases (Klingon Empire, Vanguard, Seekers) showing Diane Duane's excellent Rihannsu novels, which was the series that got me back into Trek literature after a long absence. I'm only glad I came to that particular series late, as I don't think I could stand the original publishing delays (spread over 1984-2006 !)
