About my libraryI love Retief books by Kieth Laumer. One look at my library and you can tell! LOL!
Best author in the world is Don Rosa; also Carl Barks.
I own the Twighlight Manor Library, which has 10,000 +/- books, which sooner or later I'll get around to listing here.
In addition to my book collection, I also collect comic books. I have over 7,000 comics, about 90% of those are Disney/Dell/Gladstone/Gemstone and most of those being Uncle Scrooge. With Don Rosa listed as my fave author, was there even any question that Uncle Scrooge comics dominated my collects? I'll add those to this list too, once I get the time.
