The only real collection I have are of books.
I have a pretty vast collection of -ology books in this series. I have all the main books (bar 'Spyology') and heaps of spin off books. The Dragonology book in particular had many spin offs. I also have 3 boardgames based on the first three books and also some card games too!
The books write about fictional things as if they're real, in a non-fiction manner. it quite a cool concept and many of them - dragonology, egyptology, pirateology, vampirology, oceanology) have a 'story' that runs through the book too. They're quite cleverly written.
I think my favourite would have to be 'Oceanology' as I liked the links to '10,000 leagues under the sea' in the 'story' part of the book.
I also loosely collect Robert Sabuda pop up books because I find them incredible - how on earth he creates pop ups that detailed and intricate is beyond me, but I love it.
At this stage I own...
- Prehistorica series - Dinosaurs, Beasts and Sharks
- Wizard of OZ
- Castle: Medieval days and knights
- Alice in Wonderland
- Adventures in Narnia
- Peter Pan
My collecting of these books has slowed recently. They're at least $50 a pop (no pun intended) and although they're amazing and worth every cent I have a bloody mortgage that needs paying. Ah well, bit by bit my collection will grow.
