RE: Thrift Store Treasures: Music, Books, and an Unexpected Surprise!
I suffered this addiction too at one stage - and I still suffer the after effects. I've been shifting boxes and boxes of precious books out of harms way and also to make space for less literary accumulations to go - time that could so much better be spent posting and curating on that desk that must go in some of the space so cleared! Still busy in In fact and I'll willingly pass on a whole plane load, if you are willing to pay the airfare from this side of the planet dear Ethan!
I have a dream of having a huge library room in my house someday. Therefore, I collect books. I'll probably just end up like you and have boxes and boxes of them with nowhere for them to go, but right now, it's nice to dream.
Not sure if I can spare the airfare unless the shipping company would accept STEEM! haha
Thanks for your comment and your support on this post. I really appreciate it!
Some of mine at one stage made up a kind of semi-public library on shelves op to the ceiling in a family guest-house I ran. Much appreciated by all guests, but alas a little over exposed...still waiting after more than a decade for a guest of a guest professor, who even left a promissory note to return one of them - and others just disappeared.
But even that's ok, as my effort collecting them kept these valued volumes preserved to add to someone else's quality of life . I may feel a little sore at those who could not discipline themselves to return, but then, imagine the joy of the innocent ones that inherit the books from them in turn!
