Thrift-Store Books - a reply to sayhedgehog

A reply to sayhedgehog 


Ah! Thrift store books! I love them, and i do for many reasons:

1- They are cheap!

2- They may be old, like an old treasure that you are the lucky discoverer of...

3- They have a story... I always wonder who bought them before me, who read them, how many times they were opened and read... It's just such a mystery...

4- They may even hold another treasure: an old bookmark, a piece of paper with the handwritting of the previous owner on it, a phone number, a name, a sweet word to a loved one, and other unbelievable things!!!

...  I just love it!

... Ans i should even add...

5- They always find a spot on my bookshelves!
