The Collected Editions Shelf Porn: Show me the goods!

[Mr`Orange]

How do you guys organize your stuff on the shelves? I'm looking to switch it up a little bit lol

The "nice" oversized books go in the bookshel i nthe living room, I have a Marvel Events shelf in my office and a to read trades shelf in there too. The bedroom has a couple of cupboards of double stacked trades, hc's etc. These are slightly organised, some shelves with OHC's and others with trades. But mostly a mess until I move into a new place with some real showcase shelving.

I recently moved a lot of stuff in my collection (finally got all my Moebius together) and added two extra Billy's so a shelf porn is in order I think

First an attempt at an overview:


And the large collection of shelves in the back from the other angle:

[aaltomuoto]

An attempt at getting both of them more close up so so you can (sort of) see the spines of the books





The last one was impossible to do without the table blocking it but you're mostly losing some graphic design books...

[aaltomuoto]

And some extra close-ups of my pride & joy: my Moebius collection


Most of the stories he did on the left shelf (a combination of Dutch and French editions) and artbooks on the right shelf


The Graphitti Designs editions and some Dutch and French editions of the same stories (I have a shameful amount of doubles)

[aaltomuoto]

Blueberry complete in Dutch and on the lower shelf a bunch of his smaller sized books


The complete Inside Moebius series (in French and Spanish, still need to get rid of the Spanish ones since I completed the French series) and on the lower shelf are the large format editions (mostly humanoids but some european editions as well)

aaltomuoto, that is a great set up.

What are those books in the shelf above Buddha and below Lone Wolf and Cub? Is it Blackjack?

You have an astounding collection! Do you happen to have any other close-ups of the rest of your collection? I'd love to see them.

Beautiful collection aaltomuoto

[aaltomuoto]

Thanks all

I think doing closeups of everything is a it much, I would be overflowing this topic with pictures of my collection.
I would be open for requests for closeups of specific sections though...

Yup, That's is the complete Vertical published Black Jack series. Love that series, it's one of my favorite Tezuka series.

[Gerald Keefer]

Gorgeous stuff!

That is brilliant. I have been wanting to read them for a while now. Unfortunately, a lot of the volumes are OOP.

[aaltomuoto]

That sucks, didn't know that they're harder to find nowadays
They reprinted them quite a bit back when they were first published, my vol. 1 is a fourth printing.

I'm still missing Tezuka's Phoenix which also has multiple OOP volumes nowadays, hopefully that and Black Jack will see a reprint someday

[Mr`Orange]

Fantastic set up, that is the look I want when I get a new place.

Great collection aaltomuoto. All those Moebius books look fantastic!

[JJ87]

One word, aaltomuoto: WOW.

Thanks all

- Not quite sure how you organize your collection, but I'd love to see all your Love & Rockets and general Los Bros Hernandez stuff in detail.
- I also see that you have your ABC stuff, Swamp Thing and V for Vendetta close, so they might be Alan Moore shelves? If so, I'd also love a closer look.
- And if it's not too much, a look at your Grant Morrison shelves as well. They're my two favorite authors, I apologize in advance...

Congratulations on a carefully curated home library!
