Memoirs of a book collector – A journey through American literary history

I started collecting Pulitzer Prize books in 1999, and I completed my collection on January 10th, 2006. The journey in between was quite an education for me. I went into it knowing nothing about books, a came out as an expert in this very narrow field of collectibles. This blog will be about my experiences researching and putting together my Pulitzer Prize library.

If you are not familiar with the Pulitzer Prize books, a good place to reference is PPrize.com. Not only do they list all of the winners, but they show pictures of first editions, list first edition points of issue, and refer you to places where you can find your own books.

More tomorrow...
