1. What author do you own the most books by?

Probably Christine Feehan. "vampire"/paranormal romance writer. my cousin has those books and if I don't get them back soon. Some one is going to get hurt. With those ten or 15 books out of my collection, Sabatini, I have The Sea Hawk, Scaramouche, Captain Blood, a copy of The Fortunes of Captain Blood and The Lion Skin. also there are so many more by him that I want soooo badly next comes Bruce Coville and Tamora Pierce

2. What book do you own the most copies of?

sadly The Wind in the Willows, I fell in love with Badger as a very small child watching the animated movie of this (which we have somewhere) and then at 17 I got myself an old copy of this and another book by the same man. I read it and loved it. Then my mom gave me her two or three copies, then my grandmother got these adorable little egg figurines with the River Rat, Mole, Toad and Badger in them. She lost Badger but gave the others to my older sister (doesn't like Wind in the Willows) so she passed them to me for my birthday. Then grandma found Badger and was going to give it to sister. Was forced to admit she had given them to me. So I got Badger. (I LOVE BADGER). Then grandma gave me wonderful, complete with box, which is now hidden where only I can find it, copy with the most amazing illustrations copy.... I have lots of copies of The Wind in The Willows.
