For Christmas this year I was given 6 of the special edition classics they put out beautiful designer clothbound classics, almost too beautiful to open. I have them on my bedside table so I can just look at them. My fav is the one of 'Madame Bovary' Hot Pink and Vibrant Purple floral. Gorgeous. They look anf feel like real books, if that makes sense. I've put my hand up for the rest of the collection (20 in total) for all the next birthdays, christmas etc. I can never part with any of my books.Michelle Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472120868084570461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063982749891853919.post-76122398946823839192010-03-02T21:27:59.745+00:002010-03-02T21:27:59.745+00:00It's hard to part with books.

I'd been collecting books from fairs and places for years and years, then when I split from my ex he 'lost' the lot. Felt as if I was missing a limb! I totally understand why you love them so much. Hmm, I can smell the musty pages from here. <br /><br />Lovely! xxcoffeecuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595328767389539577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063982749891853919.post-62584162603512647442010-03-02T20:40:06.302+00:002010-03-02T20:40:06.302+00:00Hi Em,
Great collection you have there. I have a ...Hi Em,<br /><br />Great collection you have there. I have a few Penguin classics too. They were all bought new but now well aged- though missing that old bookshop smell which I love. I can understand your reluctance to part with them. I won't give any away and when I lend a book out I pester people until I get it back. <br /><br />I think the memories they hold of the places they take us makes it difficult to part with them. You just never know when you might want to return there again.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />NechtanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
