Hi
I've been reading Robin Hobb since the first paperback came out in the UK in 1996. I had read a review of the Assassin's Apprentice when it first came out in hardback but didn't pick it up. I enjoyed the first Farseer book so much that I bought the Royal Assassin in paperback, but decided to switch to hardback for Assassin's Quest, Liveship Traders, Tawny Man, and Soldiers Son trilogies.
A couple of years ago I started looking for hardbacks of the first two Farseer books. Now I have a complete first edition collection of all twelve Robin Hobb titles, as well as The Inheritance and Homecoming in their original formats.
I'm very proud of my collection and hope one day to get them all signed. I won't be crushed if I don't manage to meet her though, because I once met another of my favourite authors at a signing and it turned out to be a miserable experience.
