I don't know about that. I have a bunch of wonderful old paperbacks still that I paid a buck or two for in 1968-75 ... I still read them, over and over again ... still enjoy them ... Keeping the often-re- taped covers and spines together is a labor of love. They're growing old with me and will likely expire as soon as I'm gone to take care of them.
I don't care about volume. I care about books and the stories they carry. They are as much a part of my life as breathing.
