bibliophile

rite... suddenly i'm so interested in collecting books... i just spent a whole lot of $$$ on something one would not buy.. for it is unnecessary and a plain waste of money... i spent $57.50 on a beautiful book.. LOL.. it's.. you'll never guess.. HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON complete set of FAIRY TALES.. i can imagine everyone's HUH!? expression rite now.. but it's really really pretty and nice and everything positive.. I LOVE IT.. it has this real authentic look to it too.. hard cover with gold dusted paper.. with the bookmark insde it.. the book really looks like those medieval ones... wow.. so nice.. abigail was like "adeline i feel like whacking you for buying that book" why!!??!?! why not.. i mean the book is a collectible.. so pretty.. now i'm facing a dilemma... to wrap or not to wrap? i mean if i wrap it, it will lose the authentic look and structure... if i don't i'm afraid that it will get dirty and stuff... help me~!!!! to wrap or not to wrap.. that is the ultimate question....

RIP VAN WINKLE and also THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW.. and then UNDINE by friedrich henrich karl la motte fouque.. and also i'm still looking for THE BLUE LAGOON by henry DeVere stacpoole.. ahh.. t'is hard to be a bookworm... i searched online for all the possible publications.. especially did my research on rip van winkle.. wow i found a rare collectible book of it at a price of €5000+ WOWZAAAAA but it looked real pretty too... white in colour hard cover with silk ribbon and coloured illustrations by ARTHUR RACKHAM... i want~~~~~ dammit.. it is limited edition only 200 pieces with the signature some more... GAWD i so want that book.. oh well.. too bad to expensive.. i'm not that dumb

WORD OF THE DAY-
bibliophile: a person who has a passion for reading (me~! i'm so extreme that people normally wash their hands before eating but i, wash hands before reading.. LOL)
