Blah day but awesome coupon codes!

Bah, migraines. Saps one of all strength and creativity. So it's a good time to pass along a bit of savings to all of you.

You've noticed, I'm sure, that I've monitized the old blog, trying to raise a bit of cash for the dusty coffers. Anyhow, along with that comes a lot of info on offers, sales, etc. Most recently, I received these awesome coupon codes from Alibris:

If you've never shopped Alibris, it's worth taking a look. Their prices are often discounted and they stock or will help you find out-of-print and used items. I go there sometimes and put in all of the Alice Starmore books and Rowan magazines and dream that I have the money for all of them.

If you've been yearning for a new read, now would be a great time to get one!

I Love: Old Books

One of my favorite spots to waste away a day is a musty, crammed to the rafters used books store. I love the dust. I love the way the books feel when you open them, the slight yellowing of the pages, even that slight smell of mildew that comes from a long stored treasure.

Walk into a store like this with me and count your day gone. I will not be leaving soon. Who Knows what treasures await?



When I was a child, I found a medical textbook from the 1800's. "Chill Blane" was a diagnosis. So was "Histrionic Female."

Perhaps I will find a new addition to my ever growing Wonder Book and My Book House collection. I read these over and over again as a child, somehow parted ways with them, and am slowly reacquiring them.



In Paris, a French biography of Marcel Proust (that I can't read as my french is not good enough) with a beautiful red leather cover. This the same day I placed a Madeleine on his grave site.

In New Orleans, the complete Remembrance of Things Past to add to my Proust obsession. In England, first editions for my mom's Miss Read collection. The journals of a Country Doctor. A cookbook by Toulouse Lautrec in which "Grilled Saint on a Stick" is an entree.

My great grandmother's copy of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and Tennyson's poems. My mom's High School year book.
