Most of the books reviewed here are mine and many are borrowed as well. I don't usually get sent books by publishers.
I won't say books can be classified as collectibles, especially art books. They don't usually appreciate in price with age, although I've seen merchant selling out-of-stock books at ridiculously high prices. Even so, it's hard to sell them secondhand.
