I will not list all my books, I probably have around 1,500, some of which I am starting to replace with Folio Society editions, either new or second hand. The first book I bought was a Mr. Man book in Primary School, my first almost adult book, was The Hobbit. I have been collecting books for 30+ years, Folio though for just 6 months (February 2021), after buying some Barnes and Noble Leather Editions and that leading to learning more about first Easton Press and then Folio.

I am starting to collect the Letterpress Shakespeare’s, but am looking for a fine version of The Aeneid LE. After that, The Wanderer, The Poetic Edda, Beowulf, Studies from Nature and The Wind in the Willows.

I have collected books for many years, although I have only discovered the Folio Society recently. One book from them, led to two, then a nice Limited Edition and what I originally thought was crazy prices I now do not bat an eye at! They do bring me great joy though, although coupled with my older collection of main stream press books, I dread my next house move!

I like most genres, my preference though is history, all types classical to modern.
If I am looking for a bit of escapism then it will most likely be Science Fiction.

I have worked in engineering for the last 25 years, Automotive, Defence, Aerospace and Space. It pays the bills and I have seen a lot of the world with it.
