Hey Vannie and all,

I know what you mean about having it bad when you caress and page through books and yearn to have them in your collection then make that yearning real by going to the sale and finding others you didn't unpack that first day and convincing yourself that you really ought to buy that because well you need it and/or you haven't read it and/or it looks pretty and/or it suits your collection because it's yet a another curries only cookbook that you do not yet have and just have to have and - okay now breathe as I think a person needs to.

Have you ever read that charming book 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff? GO GET IT NOW if not, the library is sure to have a copy. And if you did, did you like it? Oh how I enjoyed it. Gentle, funny, smart, characterful and refreshing ... and based on fact.

Smiling.

Cheers now

Lestie, I did read 84 Charing Cross Road. I remember loving it. I started smiling as soon as I saw the title.

LOL--it's always wonderful to find women who feel the same as I do about books, you know ready for "books anonymous." Today is our library book sale. My shift is from 9am to 11am. I already have a couple of cook books in mind and since I helped to sort them, I know exactly where they are. wink I'll get to the library at 8:30 for coffee and a quick look around to get my books before I start to work.

The downside of book love is that my apartment is being painted Monday. I have a very full bookcase in my bedroom, will spend this evening and tomorrow removing books from bookcase.(whine, whine, whine)

Hi Vannie,

Imagine how smart your books will look with a repainted wall behind them? Now there is a thought, and think of how welcome the newbies you get from the sale will feel - smart wall'n all and not being rejected all the time by the public who doesn't always know what to read from the library and who just puts them back on the shelf or even worse just leaves them lying around!

Gimme an R Gimme an E gimme an A gimme a D. NOW.

Cheers
