Book collecting

What do y’all collect?
I buy every hardcover of Call of the Wild and White Fang I can find. The different editions and covers over the last hundred years make it pretty much endless.
And I have a pretty good collection of civil war books going. Only a few to be proud of, everything else just general history.

I have a ton of Civil War books (unit histories, Foote's 3 volume set). I also have everything written by Jeff Shaara (as well as his dad's book The Killer Angels).
Also have a pretty nice collection of books about sports - especially SEC related.
I would love to expand my collection of signed books. Right now I have a copy of When The Wind Blows by James Patterson, a biography of Bear Bryant, a history of the UGA mascots, a history of Auburn football by Paul Hemphill, Gene Chizik's book about the 2010 season, and Pat Summitt's autobiography.

Have every Vonnegut novel and short works. Same w Murakami and Hemingway. Not edition specific but just collecting their work. Might do Bradbury next.

I like to collect various volumes from the Library of America Series. Entire set (1 thru 301) retails for $7500.

Mostly WWII & Civil War but more fiction & literature in recent years since I began writing.
For collectibles, I have a leather-bound set of Civil War books from the Easton Press I got in the 90's: Shelby Foote's trilogy, Douglas Southall Freeman's trilogy Lee's Lieutenants, and three Bruce Catton books.
For fiction, my copies of The Naked and the Dead and Dr. Faustus look to be original hardcover editions. Haven't verified; I picked them up at library book sales.
