I'm passionately fond of books and reading, and, except for the windows and one (yes, ONE) wall, where I have my mother's paintings, every wall of my house is bookshelves; I have books hidden in cupboards, books piled under the bed, books on the bed (I put them on the floor when I sleep, of course!), and everywhere else I can find room for them. The really odd thing is, I've read most of them. ;D <br /><br />Keesa[[quote author=benissimus link=board=6;threadid=375;start=15#3057 date=1060265631]<br />Ah yes, and God gaveth unto man Credit Card and there was light.<br />
<br /><br />How is this working out? Do they find obscure stuff you love? Do they ever (unknowingly) buy you the same book?<br /><br />There are used bookstores in the USA, but you have to make an effort to seek them out.<br /><br />I have now issued instructions to my family to buy anything in Latin they find in 2nd hand bookshops, school fetes, sales etc.
