He he, just kidding.

I can't wait to move into my house. Then I will get to buy all sorts of old, beautiful books on ebay and at auctions to fill up my new (old) beautiful Globe-Wernicke barrister bookcase.

It took me six darn months to snag that baby. I have some old books already in it and it looks fabulous. I want to find some more late 1800s books for it (those covers are GORGEOUS). I also found a nice copy of The Sketch Book by Irving with an art nouveau style cover on it at our local library book sale. Haven't been able to find another copy...

When I went to Bauman Rare Books in Vegas, my dad and husband had to drag me out of there kicking and screaming. First editions of childhood classics, books signed by brilliant authors long dead... it was beautiful.

Since it was an e-bay site, I thought it would be okay, then realized since it was an illegal item, I shouldn't. I edited and deleted almost immediately.
