I know that many of you like vintage books. There seems to be something comforting about the look and feel of those old hardcovers with their color plates and quality binding.
Having homeschooled for many years, I managed to acquire quite a collection of old children's readers, history books, storybooks, science books, and many books that have titles like, 'Stories Far and Near' or 'Tales of Long Ago.'
Looks just like my husband, doesn't it!

Isn't this a sweet illustration for the cover!
With enough books of England thrown in
and some chocolates to sustain me as I read
Does this mean that I wouldn't tolerate the newfangled Kindle? Not a bit.
I keep my Kindle at my bedside.
So how about you? Are you a book collector? Do you have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to cut up a book to make some craft out of it?
