I just did a different book meme. Maybe I'll get this one later. I thought it was funny that you said the library was keeping them for you. I can never let go of the ones I love. Every time we are in Phoenix, we drop off another box of books I can't let go, and we did the same in Lemmon last year. Someday, I'll have my own library back again!
Totally with you on the dust jacket thing, also the trixie Belden's, Little House and narnia's. Cheers, Tracey
