They're not just books; they're Collin's books, a unique collection that no other library can match.

There is a thread on this.
Do you like to write notes in books where I recently posted something similar. I hate notes/highlights in the books... but my Dad loves doing just that. And reading a book he has read is like sitting down and talking to him... it is a way to share his thoughts, history, and better understandig the man...
My son has no such luck, if he wants to know more about his dad he will have to sit down and just talk to me
or maybe when I am older I will start writing notes in the books...
Humm, but thinking back on this... my Dad reads Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, Andrew Carnegie, Benjamin Franklin, Dale Carnegie,
and I stop reading those when I started working... now I read Daniel Silva, James Patterson, John Grisham, ... lol... not great literature or motivational reading if you know what I mean...
