Was never my thing but the wife couldn't pass one up.

Back in the mid-80's she'd bring me bags full of paperback science fiction books and collections of short stories bought for 10 cents apiece practically every weekend. That went on for a couple years. Had several hundred of them written over a time span of the previous 30 years. Some real jewels in there... Asimov, Heinlein, Zelazny... Name the author, I probably had it.

Packed them all into a huge footlocker after reading (I'd read a book in a day back then). Sent the trunk home with my daughter a few years ago for five of my grandkids to read. I still remember loading that thing in the back of her car, that was a job and a half
