Collected Works by Pangarune Corner
As most know by now, I collect modern first by my favourite writers and focus on "complete works" by any given writer. Even cookbooks are added to the stew. So, the old question. For valuation purposes, what would you add to the basic price of each of the books for a complete run? An example....

Penguins by joholondon
In my youth, I collected those Penguins with the numbers on the spine. I'm now trying to get rid of them on ebay and my other half suggested I try and promote it on a discussion group.

"Who is John Galt" (and what's he *really* worth) by [email protected]
