"My husband claims I have have an unhealthy obsession with secondhand bookshops. That I spend too much time daydreaming altogether. But either you intrinsically understand the attraction of searching for hidden treasure amongst rows of dusty shelves or you don't; it's a passion, bordering on a spiritual illness, which cannot be explained to the unafflicted. Modern bookstores cannot compete with these eccentric charms. But secondhand shops have pilgrims. The words out of print are a call to arms for those who seek a Holy Grail made of paper and ink."

excerpt from the book Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro





TRADES
I'm always up for trades off my bookshelf providing you have something I'd like to read. With the cost of postage if I don't find one I'd be interested in I'll let you know. And this seems redundant but you need to have some books registered if you want to trade! One's marked available (by me) are ready to continue their journey. I'm not against anyone asking me for one marked TBR and usually I'll read it next and then do a trade. However, I do reserve the right after reading it to decide not to trade. This will happen if I think one of my girls would enjoy it or I decide to keep it regardless. If it is marked TBR I'll ask that you do not send me a trade until I'm done with the book and it's ready to mail. Due to the high cost of international shipping I only trade US.

"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens ..."

Carlos Ruiz Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind)
