mrsd, thanks very much for posting those! They sound really interesting to me.

Lots of books on sale here at the moment. I like all sorts of books, and love biographies. I picked up a few good ones this week. I've been having trouble using the computer too much lately because of some pain issues so will try to get into some reading over the long weekend here once things settle down a bit.

Chemar, I'm glad your store is doing well. I remember that now. I must have another look. When I was in the US I spent a lot of time in some amazing second hand shops. I've never seen anything like it here... not that great. There was so much beautiful old china and glassware, I couldn't believe it. I also fell for these wooden boxes that used to be used in cotton mills or somewhere like that. I thought they'd make amazing shadow boxes.
