I was an insatiable reader and I would pick random books from the shelves, ones that probably hadn't been looked at for years (back when you could see the last stamp date on the card in the back). There's actually been a couple of posts that I've looked at with books I'd forgotten about until now (like "I was kissed by a seal"). And the best part is that I'm also finding new books for my son. Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213514826661790158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-85589151258622161052008-07-01T20:21:00.000-05:002008-07-01T20:21:00.000-05:00I'm a book fiend too.

Can I ask, do you have any good online sites for vintage kids' book bargains? Other than, you know, eBay? Preferably something that's good for browsing and has stuff from the '60s and '70s? (Please forgive me if you get asked this all the time; as I said, I'm a new reader, and maybe I haven't done all the research I should be doing before asking.)Jennifer Karmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681982859231786624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-44954759400487100842008-06-30T23:10:00.000-05:002008-06-30T23:10:00.000-05:00The illustrations look amazing and the story sound...The illustrations look amazing and the story sounds pretty great, too!Superdumb Supervillainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015415249404337863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-86203669377443100212008-06-30T21:17:00.000-05:002008-06-30T21:17:00.000-05:00thanks for the chance!thanks for the chance!Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897525100460024871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-80889265971291186772008-06-30T17:16:00.000-05:002008-06-30T17:16:00.000-05:00Another jewel!
