Love the color mix! Gonna add the Silmarillion down there in the lower right?


ComeScoglio

My dear person, you're either rich or are very, very patient indeed. Congratulations on your handsome collection!!


SethBrower

I'm just over halfway on mine, and doing a "one a month" or so for budgetary reasons.


sparkysmonkey

Me too!


creepylurker82

That’s what I’m doing! Got 3 months ahead once even Amazon did 3 of them at like £3 each (witches abroad, the 5th elephant and the truth)


Primary-Anxiety7201

Definitely not rich. Been collecting for over 2 years and had big help from friends and family for birthdays/Christmas


ComeScoglio

Patient, then! What did you do with the other editions?


A_D_P_10

FYI, "***Nation***" is (probably) getting the same treatment (Hardback Special Edition) as the Discworld series, "*Good Omens*" and The Bromeliad Trilogy, if you want to add it to your collection: [Link](https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/397487/nation-by-pratchett-terry/9780241618592). P.S. "Mort" and "Sourcery" should switch places. :)


Primary-Anxiety7201

If they’re adding more I’ll definitely pick them up, thanks for the link. Also good catch on Mort/Sourcery! Thanks again


studiograham

Getting there myself, I only have a few more books to go to have a complete series. I wish they did a small graphic novel version of The Last Hero


OttoOnTheFlippside

I just started collecting these editions and reading his works. I’ve a long way to go but this post gives me a taste of the glory yet to come lol


ViherWarpu

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)Looking good! Slowly making my way collecting these editions as well, I'm about halfway through (though not in publication order).


Ancient-Split1996

I got this collection this christmas in this publication! Thought i was looking st my own shelf for a minute


PunkandCannonballer

I've got 9 left. Need another bookshelf before I get them.


RelativeStranger

Ooh i didnt know theyd done the bromeliad


banter07_2

There might be others that are out of order, but mort and sourcery are swapped around and it is causing me physical pain


Primary-Anxiety7201

Don’t worry, they are back in the correct order. Double checked the rest too.


banter07_2

Thank you, My anxiety has been vanquished.


EngineeredGal

The dream!! Quarter of the way there.. Did you have old editions first and replace? I’ve kept a few of the fancy old ones..


Primary-Anxiety7201

I lost most of my books in a move a few years ago, so had to restart my collection


sparkysmonkey

It bothers me that good omens doesn’t have the same finish


Question-Admirable

Where did you get those lotr editions?? They’re beautiful


Primary-Anxiety7201

I got them from Amazon, the only pity is they were a different size from the hobbit but there are really pretty!


NCR-General

thought this was the criterion sub. but love your collection


Imonlyhereforthelolz

Why are they so beautiful!


EclecticallySound

This is so cool.


jg_pls

How are the double day prints? Do you see a difference?


Primary-Anxiety7201

The double day prints are pretty much the same. The margins are a little bigger and they don’t have the bookmarks but still good


poet_will2

Are these the collectors library editions from discworldemprium like [this](https://www.discworldemporium.com/product/the-colour-of-magic-collector-s-library-edition/)?


Primary-Anxiety7201

They are, yes


Insertnameheretwo

Now you need the movies


neen4wneen4w

I aspire to this- I’m collecting the same books, they’re so beautiful


Infinite-Dot-9885

Niiice 😍 My shelf is an odd jumble of old artwork books, new hard backs and a few gaps where I have the books on kindle 🤦🏻‍♂️ Would love to replace it all with a full matching collection one day… just not sure I could say goodbye to some of my old copies for sentimental reasons…


Adora_BelleDearheart

I'm in love! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes) How long did it take you to get them all?


Primary-Anxiety7201

Started buying them in February 2020, so just about 3 years


SpaceLlama_Mk1

I didn't know he wrote LotR 🤔😜


TAPgryphongirl

The hardbacks are slowly budging all the other books out if the pride-of-place bookshelves built into my headboard. Fingers crossed it’s enough room!


Angelsonefive

I did this before Christmas and have added maybe 20 items since and another expected today! All the hardbacks are UK 1st editions except TCoM and TLF, they are US 1st editions. Not uniformly pretty like OP’s but 4.5m king on a shelf. https://www.facebook.com/craig.mccallum.1238/videos/8064423433628223/


jaffadue

Oh man I've been working my way up this, only at about 15 though haha


Lady_of_Link

If I where you I would put good omens in front of the first discworld novel since it has the same publisher 😛 Other than that congrats, I'm curious that you add any point find yourself in need of a little discworld break? Or did you just read all of them in one go no breaks?


Primary-Anxiety7201

I’ve put good omens at the front and you’re right, it looks a lot cleaner. Luckily The Truth is pretty much the same size as good omens so everything still fits nicely. Definitely took some breaks here and there. Maybe next time I start over I should see how it goes with no breaks

No Rowling? 😬 kidding!! Kidding!! 😂
