September 27, 2025: The Joy (And Curse) Of A Large Library

As I noted in August, we've been hard at work at (top-secret) Fighting Fantasy stuff. I'm starting to look at 2026 plans and found myself needing to figure out what to track down used copies of for research purposes. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that I already owned all but one of the books I didn't think I had.

These are my own personal copies I've bought over the course of decades. Some of these were purchased as they came out; others were collected along the way as I found them at used bookstores. (As an aside, since I've been heavily in writing/editing mode lately, I'm realizing that "used bookstore" is an odd phrase . . . everyone knows what it means, but it implies that the bookstore itself is used rather than its contents. But I digress.)

One of the delights of having this large library is getting periodic reminders of goodies I've bought in years past, which I stumble onto in the present. And the curse? Well, it's more or less the same thing . . . not realizing what I already own and could be enjoying.

If this sparks any personal anecdotes of your own, please feel free to share tales of your own library over on the forums!
