What makes a book collectable?

First edition, Publisher, Condition.

These are some things that can make a book collectable, more often the author of a book can be what makes the difference in how collectable a book is.

For an example, Anne McCaffrey, for many is an author that is very collectable.She has a talent for producing a world that you can feel like you are actually there.You find yourself, imaging what kind of character you are while you are reading the book, now that is collectable talent.

If you have yet to read one of her books I would highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible, the Dragon Rider series is perhaps one of the better ones, but she has so many more that it would take you years to read them all.happy reading..
