Nothing like today where they just take a picture, photoshop it to death and slap it on the cover. <br />You have a really cool, well rounded collection.

It is getting to be a challenge as so often I tell myself, read it, have it, have a few copies, etc. Older books call to me.<br />I was a youngest child so learned to read before Kindergarten and my son was reading at a third grade level before he started school.<br /><br />I hope I get to visit you for some of the fantasy blog hops and you share copies of classics like Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz books!Laura S Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812735660993028271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-90647224960863824712013-07-12T11:34:56.712-04:002013-07-12T11:34:56.712-04:00Loved reading about your books.
