If you’re reading this, I’m betting you collect books of some particular type – a favorite author, maybe, or on a particular subject, or even books by a specialty bindery – but you may collect other things as well. Me, for example – I collect books in a variety of areas (big surprise, right?), but I also collect a few other things like vintage Halloween postcards.
Have you ever checked out our Collectibles wall? No matter what you like to collect, there’s a good chance that it’s represented by a book in our Collectibles section. One of the great things about books on collectibles is that they’re usually heavily illustrated with photographs, so these books are visually attractive and a pleasure to browse through. The Collectibles section is organized by type of object, so whether your interest is jewelry, coins, dolls, or L.A.’s own beautiful Bauer pottery, you’ll be able to find your chosen field of interest quickly and peruse these gorgeous and reasonably priced books.
