A note about our collection

As we said in our first post, our collection is made up of, in part, the books we each had prior to us getting together.

It wasn't until we became "we" and began collecting books together that we started to develop a more specific approach to building our library. So while there are many works of great literature in our collection... there are also many editions of those works that we would like to replace (if not forget about entirely...), now that we have a common goal and approach in our search.

Like we said in our opening post, we are not opposed to having multiple editions of the same work, so long as we like all the editions. But if we're not happy with our edition of George Eliot's Silas Marner, for instance, we'll be on the lookout for one that better fits our ideas for what we want our library to be.
