When I was a youngster the 'BookMobile' came to our little town once per month from the state Library. It was there I found that you could get almost any title currently in print by mail. It was heavenly.

I have three bookcases full to overflowing, and a couple of overflow boxes. I love them. But the truth is, they are mostly research grade stuff. My real reading is done on my Kindle. I can carry several thousand titles with me to read by the fire when I am camping with my motorcycle. I know they don't smell the same, and they don't feel the same, but the words are all there.

Thanks for a wonderful look inside a vanishing wonder!
