I fully admit to having some "issues" with obsessively collecting things like Go Books. We all have our personal insanities. For those in search of some of the extremely out of print titles, I highly recommend using AbeBooks.com for locating them in their network of used book stores. I've found a remarkable number of obscure titles through them. They can actually store a search for something you're interested in, and notify you by e-mail when new matches come in... even months later. Both David Carlton's Go Bibliography (with reviews) and Craig R. Hutchinson's AGA Archive Index (very terse) are excellent reference material on Out of Print Go Books. At any rate, the following is my current library of titles.
