It's fun, it's interesting and educational, it can be expensive, it can be a good investment if you know what you're doing.
What do you collect?

I try to get books the owners or authors have signed/ written in. Though this degrades the value in some instances, it is such a personal connection to people from a century or two ago, I cant resist.
I have a lot of song, poetry, and literature prints. But I have moved on to collecting cyclopedias, medical manuals, and architectural and carpentry treatises.
The old cyclopedias offer insight on how things were done in rural low energy situations. They have practical knowledge on just about anything a households needs to produce, and will offer some great post-peak skills I Think.
