EDIT: Adding bookshelf pics
Too big to fit on the other shelf, so it gets its own spot:
And a couple video editing program manuals and a thing of royalty-free computer animation:

LOTS OF PICTURES! I love books.
BOOKSHELF NUMBER ONE
David Eddings is my favourite fantasy writer. All those DE books (minus the smallest 4)? First editions. Those H2G2 books? First editions. The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander was my first fantasy series (5 books in that one) I ever read. The last book on the right, The Redemption of Althalus is 1st edition, London press, signed.
I also really enjoy Robert Jordan. Lord of Chaos, A Crown of Swords and The Path of Daggers are 1st edition signed. Other RJ and George R. R. Martin books (minus the mini Game of Thrones) are just 1st editions.
I like Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt series. Don't bother with his others. Also, p/b Robert Jordan.
Miscellaneous books. Included are some science fiction masterpieces - Neuromancer, Starship Troopers and Dune. The last, long book is Josh Mirman's Punks and Nerds Vol. 1, #2 of 100 limited signed & sketched edition.
Honestly, unfortunately, I've not read any of those Terry Brooks novels. I got as far as The Sword of Shannara and left it at that. Dunno why... I also feel ashamed that I have a Tom Clancy book. But I only read Rainbow Six 'cause of the video game...
BOOKSHELF NUMBER TWO
Top of #2, my theatre bookshelf. Bottom book is the Yale edition of the Compleat Works of Wllm. Shkspr.
Like I said, theatre bookshelf.
Yes, that's a limited edition can of Spam featuring Spamalot. I saw the original cast (Tim Curry, Hank Azaria, et. al.) in Chicago before it went to New York.
My script collection. I'm pretty sure I've read all of them at least once; most twice; some way more than that.
Ok, so not all scripts. Lots of sci-fi there. The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, starting with Red Mars, is my all-time favourite Sci-Fi series. I highly, highly recommend it. That Tad Williams quadrilogy The Otherland Series is a complex, difficult read, but very smart and entertaining.
More theatre stuff, a 1st-edition signed RJ World of the Wheel of Time, music books, and my pathetic vinyl collection.
My "nice" display. Sorta. Lots of really good stuff there.
The two shelves below the one above. Nothing needs be explained.
Stereo and indie-rock CD collection. Everything else I own I won't display.
A bunch of random books. A lot of good stuff there. A few cookbooks, a few random comic compilations (Fox Trot, Charlie Brown, The Journal Comic), a bigass binder of all legal stuff for the condo I bought...
My PS2 with NCAA 2006 Football and Final Fantasy X. Bottom shelf holds Civ4 & ES:Oblivion boxes, my DS, as well as Men's Health, WIRED, Magnet and Harp magazines.
Finally, my copies of Hoppípolla and The Meadowlands on vinyl.
Hope you liked my pikshurz!
bujiatang:
Have you seen any plays by Tom Stoppard? I just saw The Real Thing at the Guthrie. I had read a couple of his plays before, like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and After Margrite and loved them. The timing is even better when performed.
I noticed some of the older hhgttg trilogy dust jackets on your shelf.
