I own a signed first print of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Probably my prized possession as far as books go.

Love that book.

I was going through a chest-of-drawers and just happened to run across the first 7 of Tim Edler's Tales from the Atchafalaya comics. They're all either 1st edition, most signed by the author, very good condition, and even come with each of the books being narrated on cassette. Does me personally no good because I know pretty much the minimum about them. Trying to research and see exactly what I may have, or not.

I was going through a chest-of-drawers and just happened to run across about 5 or 6 or so of Tim Edler's comics, including all of those u mentioned as well as Ron Guidry. They're all either 1st or 2nd edition, not sure, all signed by the author, perfect condition, and even come with each of the books being narrated on cassette. Does me personally no good because I know pretty much the minimum about them. Trying to research and see exactly what I may have, or not.

Man.

Little did I know what kinda shite mother nature was fixing to pull later on in 2016. Cajun Navy couldn't save my Crawfish Man books...we lost everything in that unit.

Autographed copy of Mick Foley's Have a Nice Day

John Madden's Hey, I'm Talking Pro Football , autographed. Don't laugh, this book isn't bad at all.

Couple of books autographed by Clay Travis (present from the ex wife)

I think that's it for books. Most of my collectibles are sports memorabilia. My favorite is my game worn Lawrence Taylor autographed jersey or my Reggie White Eagles jersey, my most valuable is probably my Mantle, DiMaggio, Maris and Whitey Ford baseball.

I have some great old books. Oldest one is a Roman history Latin book from Scotland printed in 1720.

I have a copy of the Iliad that was carried by a British officer in WWI.

I also have an ancient history textbook that was used in the French Royal Military Academy in the 1870s.

I’ve been slowly building a pretty decent collection of unique/interesting books. It’s fun to put together an unusual library.

Got a signed copy of A Game of Thrones from George R.R. Martin. I guess that would have to be it.
