From A Book Pirate’s Booty

November 14th, 2003 · No Comments

I lust for old books, especially the damaged and tattered ones that aren’t really worth anything to book collectors. I call them “well rubbed” like in The Velveteen Rabbit. I love books are that in far worse shape than these. Usually the books and print that I want most are the ones people throw away. So sad. I don’t care if they are burned, torn, water logged, scribbled in, and completely falling apart. I want them. If they are childrens books or school books or printed before 1944 I want them even more. They always have such a good home here with me and are much appreciated. They are often transformed into works of art and other treasures. I take donations.
