Kick Up Your Feet & Stay Awhile

Writer's picture: harperwildecoharperwildeco

Some of you may think that my reason for starting this website was to sell books. In actuality, I started this site to create a community for people who are passionate about books and who want to share both their collections and experiences along the way. During my time as a collector, I have had the pleasure of meeting some great people from all over the world, some of whom have become life-long friends. People I know for a fact that I would have never met had it not been for the sheets of paper stuck between two covers. It is very inspiring to see the enjoyment of a book bring people together who have never met and possibly never will. I wanted to find a way to bring those experiences to one central location or at least try. So this is my attempt to not sell books, but to start a community where everyone can speak freely, buy, trade, find the holy grail and above all to help new collectors join "our world" on a positive note. Let's face it we were all new at one time and a bad experience could have sent us on a different path missing out on the excitement of collecting. So with that being said I welcome experienced collector and new collectors. I hope you come to view the beautiful books and stay for the company...Cheers!

Happy to be here. I post and share in a few groups but i'm allways on the hunt for items on my allusive list ;) I have only bought one thing here/ technically two things but it was an incrediably posotive experince so i'm excited to see what lies ahead. I'm also still trying to save for The King collection but i have this nasty habbit of buying books that's getting in the way of that.

Nice looking site. Its a good thing your wife kicked you in the butt. I love seeing other people collections, what they collect, the way they are laid out, and so on. It would be nice to come across a few of my want list items here. I'm hoping to sell a few items also. My online name is ruderabbit, I've been collecting, buying and selling for about twenty years. I hope to have my shelves looking a bit more presentable in the near future, so I too can post a few pics.

I can concur, I've met all sorts of people that I would never have worth out this hobby.
