Paperbacks. This was in the days when charity shops still sold books over a year old and you could pick up loads of reprints from the 60s of older crime novels that hadn't been republished in years. Also there was a fantastic resurgence in noir/hardboiled writing in the 80s/early 90s. I also used to collect a lot of American imports.
