Oh Ame, like I mentioned on Twitter, you had me at debossed. Those special little touches that books offer us are irreplaceable. This year when I opened up a friend’s worn copy of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” I had the same feelings. Thank you for sharing your gift of language with us!

Hi, I just noticed this review and wondered if you would like to link it in to the new monthly collection of books that people loved on Carole's Chatter. This is the link There are already quite a few books linked in that you might be interested in. It would be great if you came on over. Cheers

Oh how I can relate to this very poignant post. If you knew how many times I’ve searched for copies of the books I read as a child I’d have to invite you to look at my “favorites” bookshelf.

Though I do use an e-reader when I travel for myself, I will never tire of the beauty of holding, smelling, and reading a book. It is always such a pleasure.

Thanks so much for sharing your treasure hunt and finds with us. So special.

Thank you for sharing this great post with our readers. I too have a love affair with books, the actual copy of a book that I read as a child, or a beloved book that my husband bought me when we were dating. There is something almost mystical about touching the pages in one stage of life and then re-touching them again in a later stage. I too have nothing against e-readers but to me nothing can take the place of a physical book. Thanks again!!
