I swear when I read the books I picture this:
My 50s nostalgia rolls over into lit in a big way. I got a wild hair and found The Timber Trail Riders on amazon. I can’t wait to share them with my daughters. : ) I spent all my holidays and summers and many weekends at my grandparents’ stable. We didn’t have a vast library but being a bookworm I think I memorized most of the books on the shelves.
Did any of you have these? The Golden Book Encyclopedia set kept me occupied for a lot of hours. I picked up a set of my own when the boys were little.
I love old books.Sigh.
Speaking of which – its time to pull out An Austin Family Christmas.

Kim, I like old books, but my son loves them probably much like you do…he told me over the phone that he and his college roommate hit a library book sale and he purchased a bible published in 1906….for 25 cents….and it’s written in German….okayyyyy 🙂
YES!! My son’s friend stopped by with his encyclopedia set just the other day, for my girls to have. His are about 20 years old and in great shape.
