People buy you books because they think you might enjoy the words on the pages, not because they think the book will dignify your meticulous collection.

I'm sorry if that made me come across as an asshole. I never ever ever throw away things given by someone else so I don't like receiving books unless I had them (even the specific version on my wishlist) because I'm trying to control how large my collection grows. I've sold off so many books I bought in my younger days, to make space for others.
