Approximately once every 10-15 years I actually manage to fall into a neat collection. Several hundred books to go through, but here were some of the cool highlights I dug out on initial inspection. War of Wizards and Lankhmar are both unpunched!

I guess that means I need to wait another 5-10 years for my next big haul.

I'll have to settle for small treasures until then, I suppose.

That's awesome! I love the mix, sci-fi, fantasy, bunnies, wizards, planes & haunted houses... something for everyone

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Update #1: Well... I guess I collect CoC now.

Seriously, I'm having a great time going through this collection. More TSR goodies tomorrow.

Are those the monographs at the bottom of the pile? Spread them out, they deserve a pic of their own

Update #2: As promised, more cool TSR stuff. Lack of boxes makes me sad.

And by popular demand...

Still sorting, but I think all the major finds are behind me. Good stuff!
