I’ve got a new book collecting column in the current issue of Mystery Scene magazine.  It’s about fighting the enemies of books – water, fire, insects, etc.  I forgot to mention this last month, but I also had a book collecting column in the previous issue of Mystery Scene about the idea of “following the flag” in book collecting.  Basically, that means buying the first British editions if you are collecting the work of a British author, or the first American editions if you are collecting the work of an American author.  And so on.
