If you haven't already guessed...I love old books. I love the look of them, the intoxicating smell they excude, the worn paper and most importantly reading from them. I find that when I read from an old book I am transported to a different era. Not just mentally, but physically too. Just knowing that these books were treasured by someone long ago, and are now treasured by me, binds me to their past.
I feel a sense of sadness when I find them discarded and feel obligated to save them. For example, my latest find.....
It was sitting in a foam box at the local tip, under a stack of other books. It's quite worn and unassuming on the outside....
