Comparison

Hello,

1. I have more books than you

I have to change the degree of the comparison.

1A. You don't have as many books as I have.

Is #1A correct?

I wonder whether the sentence can be changed into superlative form.

Could any help me?

Thanks.

Comparative is for two; superlative for three or more. Since there are only two people being compared, the superlative just won't work.
