(Did you mean a different [[Collector]]?)
 
 
 
== An Especially Noble Kind of Fan==
 
A practitioner of the highest and noblest form of [[fanac]], especially when associated with compiling ''and publishing'' a detailed Index or [[bibliography]].  See [[Collecting]].  Collectors are [[trufen]] and almost by definition mensches. "I might need that someday..."
 
 
 
== A Sufferer from a Dread Disease==
 
Someone who has been bitten by the [[Kolektinbug]] and develops an obsessive-compulsive disorder that that drives him or her to accumulate large amounts of sf books, [[fanzines]], [[prozines]], sf artwork and/or other materials related to science fiction. Collectors are not necessarily [[fans]], but fans are highly prone to the disease.
 
 
 
Some collectors, especially [[completists]], collect according to a plan -- all the issues of a particular magazine, for example, or all the first editions by their favorite author -- but others just accumulate more and more of their obsessional objects until they have no room to move around in their houses.
