Then I read the summary and decide from there. <br />I could never have a rare book and not read it either so I guess I'll never make it as a rare book collector.

A true rare book collector doesn't actually read their books.

Dear friends actually bought me my Harriott set, and one bet I'd never have the heart to open them. Wrong! I had them read before the weekend was out. There's something special about old books!Regina Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122254474376535221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-73568367362155537172011-08-19T13:37:23.978-04:002011-08-19T13:37:23.978-04:00I pick up a book if it has a nice cover with "...I pick up a book if it has a nice cover with "old-fashioned" looking people on it. Congrats on the beautiful new covers! Though there's something thrilling about those old leather bound books. I took a class on rare book librarianship last semester and drooled a lot over the rare book sellers' catalogs!QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.com
