Some books for collectors

Jens,

I once read somewhere that when one collects arms, you should have 2 pounds weight of books for every 1 pound weight of metal!

You have proved it right!

It is nice to hear from you

No I don’t think I have two pounds of books to one pound of weapons, and I doubt that I have even pound to pound, but I feel quite sure that Anita would skin me, or at least consider it, if I had them 2:1 as you suggest. However, I agree, you can’t get enough books on the subject you collect.

Most start to collect, and then buy a book now and again, but it should be the other way around. Buy a stack of books, read them, and start to collect – I too did it the wrong way
