If they're hardcovers, I'd be inclined to keep.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh sj, you are talking to someone currently selling some of her Asterix collection in order to repurchase new ones so that all the bindings match (the publishers changed mid-stream).

Wow. You're more serious than I am. I'm happy if I either have all of the same author is hardcover or paperback.

I'm not sure serious is the word you are looking for...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
sj, I would get rid of it. If you don't like it, why keep it?

I'd keep it if it were part of a series but get rid of it if it's a standalone work.

I'm with Susan. I'd hate to lose the middle of a series, even if I didn't like it, but I'm thinking of paring down some of my books, and am definitely getting rid of some authors' one-off books (or series I didn't like), but keeping others. Like keeping all the Kate Elliot Jaran books, though I dont' like the last couple, but getting rid of the few I have of her other series.

They're not a series. Just one off books by authors I usually enjoy.

meara is me WRT Kate Elliott. I've tried her fantasy series, but they're too convoluted and involved even for my taste. I think of her books every time I'm tempted to add yet another POV character or subplot to my WIP....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
As the daughter of a used bookstore owner, I say get rid of it. There will be someone out there who likes it, and books should be where they will be loved.
