I'm so happy to have discovered this blog and some new people to read. I have old Georgette Heyer books I rebought because they are so classic, and they were a guilty pleasure when I first read them.

We should be grateful they're reading at all. But I do love printed books, new and old. There's something magical about a very old book that has passed through many hands.
