For The Love Of Old Books.

Do you ever buy old used books just for the fancy colors on the hardcovers? 
Our local thrift shop was having a BOGOF sale on all books. 
Needless to say, I was scouring the shelves, flipping each book open just to see what was behind the paper covers. 

Just another reason to never judge a book by its cover.


& don't even get me started on the smell of used books.
Absolutely euphoric...

One day, when I finally have my dream house (in South Carolina, of course), I will have to have my own library just to display my collection of these old beauties. 
Happy Monday.
& Happy shopping!
