There are a number of science fiction books that I read as a kid that remain favorites and if I find paperback copies in good condition, or even ones with covers different then the ones I have, I often buy them. Ostensibly I buy them so I have copies to give others...and sometimes I do...but more than that its the thrill I get of stumbling across these books again and I can't resist buying them.Carl V.
