Book Collector Quotes

I’m a huge comic book collector. When I was a kid, I had both Marvel and DC. I was my own librarian. I made card files. I had origin stories of all the characters, and cross-referenced when they appeared in other comic books. I was full on Picture Quote #1

I’m doing exactly what I was supposed to do. Yeah. I didn’t exactly choose this. My own life, if it were up to me, would be very, very quiet. I’d be like a shopkeeper, a book collector, or something like that. I’m not like this. Myself as a performer and an artist is totally different from who I am Picture Quote #1

My address book of dealers and private collectors, smugglers and fixers, agents, runners and the peculiar assortment of art hangers-on was longer than anyone else’s in the field Picture Quote #1

I had bill collectors chasing me. We were skipping from town to town, not leaving forwarding addresses. The agent couldn’t find me when he sold my book. He finally found me Picture Quote #1

I am not a book collector, and I am not fussy about particular editions. As long as the words are there I don’t mind Picture Quote #1

I’m in a comic book fan. I have long boxes at home. I’m a comic book collector; I’m not joking. It’s just the coolest thing ever Picture Quote #1

I love rare books. Not that I own a lot of them, mind you. You couldn’t quite call me a rare-book collector. But I did once work in a rare-books library, and I wrote a novel about a rare book Picture Quote #1

To be a book-collector is to combine the worst characteristics of a dope fiend with those of a miser Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a collector - just a consumer - and these days unless a book is signed to me by another author, I don’t normally have any qualms about passing it to a friend or donating it to the library Picture Quote #1

In my ideal world, my next novel would have a first printing of, say, 2,500 hardcovers for reviewers, libraries, collectors, and autograph hounds. The publisher could print more copies if they get low. And simultaneously, or six weeks later, the book would be available in paperback Picture Quote #1

My specialty as a collector is books that almost have value. When I love a book, I don’t buy the first edition, because those have become incredibly expensive. But I might buy a beat-up copy of the second edition, third printing, which looks almost exactly the same as the first edition except that a couple of typos have been fixed Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid Picture Quote #1

To a book collector, you see, the true freedom of all books is somewhere on his shelves Picture Quote #1

To be a book collector is to combine the worst characteristics of a dope fiend with those of a miser Picture Quote #1

Though I have never thought of myself as a book collector, there are shelves in our house browsed so often, on so many rainy winter nights, that the contents have seeped into me as if by osmosis Picture Quote #1

I am not a book collector, and I am not fussy about particular editions. As long as the words are there I don’t mind Picture Quote #1
