Abe Books lists books for sale by many dealers, so they are a good source when it comes to determining who the most collectible authors are. There is a list of the top 25 most collectible authors since 2003 on the Abe Books website, but it doesn’t give any details. It is just a list of authors. Here are the top authors on the list, along with some details about which books may actually be worth something.
Book collecting is the collecting of books, including seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining whatever books are of interest to a given individual collector. The love of books is bibliophilia, and someone who loves to read, admire, and collect books is a bibliophile.
The Codex Seraphinianus was written and illustrated by Italian graphic designer and architect, Luigi Serafini during the late 1970's. The Codex is a lavishly produced book that purports to be an encyclopedia for an imaginary world in a parallel universe, with copious comments in an incomprehensible language.
If you are interested in collecting books you should stop in and have a conversation with an independent bookseller. She or he will be very glad to help you get started on your collection--especially if you want to start in their shop!
