These books were hand-me-downs and I would rather have my babes enjoying them instead of me worrying about trying to protect something that is about to fall apart anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-73792411713172147082008-07-01T09:00:00.000-05:002008-07-01T09:00:00.000-05:00For the most part, I steer clear from buying books...For the most part, I steer clear from buying books that are falling apart and buy ones that are still in pretty good shape.

Maybe you've posted about this, I'll have to look back through (I'm new to your blog as of a couple of weeks ago.) We just got some great vintage books but they are about to fall apart and, of course, they are the ones my daughter wants to read every night! Love the blog, keep up the good work. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
