   I've been collecting the leatherette editions for about sixteen years now. I now have 107 of the 129. I just found 19 at a bookstorei in Spokane while on vacation there.

My list is starting to get more difficult as these are the rarer ones. I'm thinking the Collected Short Stories and Rowdy aren't going to show up anythime soon in a used bookstore.

   Just a footnote-


I just pulled down my copy of the Bantam 30th anniversary hardcover of HONDO, which I remember buying off the shelf of the bookstore....and am utterly dismayed to realize its the 60th anniversary of that novel now. -sigh-

   Your best bet on finding the harder to find ones are on ebay.

   I'm trying to stay away from eBay and Amazon, hoping to just come across them in a used book store or yard sale. I know this is limiting my finds but that's part of the search.

When I get down to 3 or 4 I might change my plan and shop online.

Check out Guidon Books in Scottsdale AZ and on line (http://www.guidon.com/)I got a lot of mine from there.
