They were poor condition and not very interesting but I was utterly enraptured and kept them for years until I moved to London and didn't have the room. I still have one and it still has that enchanting feel and smell that hints at other worlds!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001956228473172980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-9852425454135961722013-02-14T18:00:46.615-05:002013-02-14T18:00:46.615-05:00My mum owned a tiny tea shop next door to the libr...My mum owned a tiny tea shop next door to the library. When I was about three or four, I used to go to work with her and several times in the day, walked the few metres to the library to change my book. It was safe; apparently they all knew me there and mum could watch me walk between the doors. But what a wonderful world it opened up for me! Thanks for the memory jog.

Yes, I'm old. :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!Alison DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979026382091362305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-50782764983002848622013-02-14T00:57:50.028-05:002013-02-14T00:57:50.028-05:00Dropping in from the hop!

We had a few growing up and that's how I "read" Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.<br /><br />I agree with your sentiment: I appreciate new technology but I think there is still room in the world for the old. I also love the smell of books, both old and new. ^_^<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day!Tinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160536602351176206noreply@blogger.com
