Weekly Geeks 2009-33: One Title Collection

Friday, August 28, 2009


Last year, I saw a movie, I think it was called Definitely, Maybe, that got me to thinking. In this movie, one of the girls was on a quest to find a particular copy of Jane Eyre, I forget now the specific reason why. But in the process of her search, she ended up with this massive collection of Jane Eyre books, from all sorts of places and years and styles. She had a shelf that went all the way around her room, filled with these wonderful Jane Eyre books.

It made me wish I had a collection like hers, a collection of one particular title, in all it's various versions.

So, Weekly Geeksters, tell us, do you have a collection, (or are you starting a collection,) of one particular book title? If so, what's your story? Why that book, and how many do you have, and what editions are they? Share pictures and give us all the details.


Or perhaps you dream about starting such a collection. What title would it be and what would it take for you to get motivated to start collecting?

Or maybe it's the works of a particular author you collect (or want to collect) instead a certain book title?

Once you've written about your collection (or dream collection) be sure sign Mr. Linky with your post and don't forget to visit other Geeksters to see what they're collecting!

She was looking for a copy of Jane Eyre that her father had inscribed for her and given to her as a gift. She lost it somewhere and had been looking for it her whole life after her father past away. I was really touched by this. I was really moved by this in the movie having lost my father and Jane Eyre being my favorite book. I do not have a collection though but like to look at old children's books at antique stores, etc. I have a few that are interesting to look at.

Thanks for clearing up those details. I knew if I tried I wouldn't get it quite right, without going back and re-watching the movie.

Love in the Time of Cholera! I have several copies so far of that and Moll Flanders also.

Good subject! Mine is up. It isn't as scary as it could be. Sorry!

I'm not exactly a "book blog" but I put up a post on some of the different Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated books. While I was researching this, I found out that when you look up Alice in Wonderland, it has 6,716 results in the Books department of Amazon. But Jane Eyre has a whopping 12,043.

Way to go Charlotte Bronte. Happy Weekly Geeks!
