I have a thing for vintage paperbacks. I love the smell of old yellowed paper and the mid-century flair of the graphics and illustrations. They’re the ideal collector’s item because they’re not collector’s items. I don’t have to put them in plastic bags or worry about their condition. I can appreciate them exactly as they are, in their imperfect state. The only thing standing between me and 500 of these printed gems in shelf space.
