The idea took shape when Heather O\u2019Donnell and Rebecca Romney, the bookstore\u2019s owners, observed that \u201cthe women who regularly buy books from us are less likely to call themselves \u2018collectors\u2019 than the men, even when those women have spent years passionately collecting books.\u201d By providing a financial incentive to them, and a forum in which to celebrate and share their collections, O\u2019Donnell and Romney hope to encourage a new generation of women. This year, they write, &#8220;We were impressed by the many contestants whose initial collecting interests put them in pursuit of unusual material not available for Prime delivery: vintage, underground, out-of-print, annotated, foreign, small press, or self-published finds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are pleased to unveil the winner of the 2019 Honey &amp; Wax Book Collecting Prize, who will receive $1,000, as well as five honorable mentions, who will each receive $250.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>WINNER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily Forster: Fan-Made Comics and <em>D\u014djinshi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aforsterreal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-139468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aforsterreal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"967\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aforsterreal.jpg 967w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aforsterreal-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aforsterreal-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emily Forster, twenty-eight, is a cartoonist in New York City.
