Now!, thats what I call a library! Some great bathroom reading material you got there! :giggle
I am afraid most of my books have ".....For Dummies" in the title. :lol
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
:lol Thats one of the first things that came to my mind too. Splendid collection Jeff.
You can never go wrong with books. :cheers Do you remember how many models you acquired just by being influenced by these books. Some which you never knew existed but just loved them after reading them up.
G
holy crap dude! that's alot of words.

my question is this though...we know you have s tellar diecast collection, but where do you keep all of these? :confused

under the bed? :giggle
I-chee-wawa! You a crazy man. Nothing on the history of Yugo in America though - strange.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Do you have "Ventriloquism for Dummies"? :lol
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
yucka yucka :giggle
That's impressive to put it mildly, Jeff - wow! It probably took you longer to type in that list than it would take to read my whole library.
G
So which is it? Your house I mean...

Is it a diecast museum or is it a library? :happy

You've got yourself a nice collection of books, my friend. :nicejob :cheers
Now you guys know why I am always selling diecast when the pile starts to get too big :giggle
And why I am always broke :lol
I am so bad that I could buy 50 books right now and there would still be a giant wishlist :shipwrecked
Remember kids, reading is fun-de-mental!!! :giggle
G
Jeff,

Thats an impressive compilation. :nicejob

Are all of them hardbacks?
G
WooooooooooooooooooooooooW!
Can i have a library ticket please.What a coolection. :nicejob
WOW Jeff, what a collection, what a lot of history! :wink

I thought I had a reasonable amount of books, your collection makes mine pale into significance

As has been asked before, do you give out library tickets? :giggle
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
About 90% of them are :cheers
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Come on over and read all you want.
I won't even charge for parking :wink
