If you decide to get the dark green tooled ones , or whatever set you decide on, ask for the size. You'll wear yourself out otherwise.I know the irritation of mismatched books, it's like hives I'm you just can't help scratching!
Of course, the important thing is to have the other 25 volumes of _The Complete Peanuts_ in the same format. I see you have Volume One on your shelf. 😀
Ah yes. My collection is a tiny fraction of yours but I’ve had this issue a few times. It’s not about resale value, it’s about how it looks on my shelf as I survey my book kingdom…I mean collection. 😉
I often think it would be great to have books in a uniform size displayed on my shelves - I've recently replaced a couple of hardback book club editions with original published editions - it's a start, I guess, but it always comes to financial considerations and available book space. (although, come what may, I'm never going to get rid of those book club editions)
@@andrewhelm2813 Yes, all that are considerations. Mostly money I think. If money then space comes with it. We could do as 19th century gentlemen did... have all books bound and rebound uniformly with our family crests.
@@ShawnDStandfast Ah yes, leather bound books bearing family crests with Latin phases underneath....yeah that'd be cool...if rather cost prohibitive. Really need to win the lottery. 😏
@@ShawnDStandfast I really like videos like this, discussions about the nuanced aspects of books and covers and volumns etc etc. nice one Shawn, keep up these types of videos 😊
Having recently achieved my MSc, Master's in psychology, I can assure you there's nothing remotely "mental illness" in this... However your comment @ffridiejr is somewhat 'fundamental attribution error', and making jokes about mental illness is a tad offensive methinks.
Great woes! It's the little details that count!!
You've just started a run on the Walpole market, Shawn 😉
The joy of collecting!!!
Madness! I can't imagine the rationale for making them _slightly_ bigger.
@@royreadsanything It is odd.

I would indeed love to have all the peanuts volumes.
Wasn’t Hugh Walpole mentioned in the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch?
@@kabutler70 He was sort of. They mentioned that Horace Walpole was the author of Rouge Berries (or Herries Chronicle). They got the wrong Walpole lol

@@laurac56 Thanks for the comment. You are right it's not about the resale value etc. it is the look.
Nice woe Shawn 🐬🏝️

Thankfully, I don't suffer from this particular form of mental illness 😀. Hope all is well.
@@ffridiejr If be a mental illness then it be a good one to have. There are worse ones.
