I avoided the short story hardback line when it first came out, as I had a hard time thinking of them as real books rather than gimmicks, and didn&#8217;t expect them to hold their value. Now, after I&#8217;ve collected everything else by the author, I&#8217;ve been picking them up, and my original judgment about their collectability (or lack thereof) was largely accurate.
