I just got Elizabeth Goudge's Christmas collection from the library -- a little too late for Christmas :( Maybe next year I will try it again. Must start a book on the history of Milk tonight.

They said it was because there could be lead in the printing...like kids EAT the books! Many around the net said their used stores were throwing out all old children's books and even prohibiting them from buying them as they were being tossed in the bin. The word was only people who sold books to collectors could keep selling such on the internet. What happened to all of this? I am scared to give away any good children's books now becaue I will not be able to find them again. The older volumes had such wonderful pictures etc. If they reprint them no doubt the paper and pictures will not be done as well. How many I wonder will not ever be republished? Have the libraries cut back on the older books? Please let me know anything you know about this.

But as I've gotten older, the desire to "pare down" has hit strong. I've given away or sold many of the wonderful books you mention (including rare children's books) just trying to pare down my books to one bookcase. <br />What I do when I want to read a new recommendation is I go to my local library, and for $1 they will get the book for me from another library system on loan. This can take weeks, but it's worth it. Some libraries will do this for free too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-64264869080830526302010-01-04T20:58:30.462-05:002010-01-04T20:58:30.462-05:00I just wanted to mention a devotional while I'...I just wanted to mention a devotional while I'm thinking of it that ranks number two right after "My Utmost for His Highest" that I highly recommend, "Morning and Evening" by Charles Spurgeon.

I've purchased a number of vintage books there. They offer a number of the Elizabeth Goudge books for under $5 and even some with free shipping. Not sure about the others you name. I'm going to start with a library loan and see if I want to invest first.<br /><br />It's always wise to use discernment when reading. I learned long ago to reject the not-so-good and keep the best. Funny that your own daughter isn't fond of a book that you adore. My daughter would reject most of my reading material, I'm afraid.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
