Working on books today [View all]

I ended up with books that belonged to my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents. Over the years, we bought other books, usually boxfuls. I'm looking for one book I bought a few years ago, which I must have put in a really safe spot, again. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've had to look for it. While I'm looking for that book, I brought an armload to the living room and I'm looking for values on the Internet. While I looked through the books for dates and other information, I also, gently, fanned the leaves in case there is anything tucked away. And there was!

In one book, I found a vintage printed church program from Ripon, Wisconsin. In another, I found a printed list of Points of Interest in my town. And in a 3rd, a few pages of a child's book featuring Hop o' My Thumb.

Now, I have to stop having fun and go back to searching for the book I want to find, which is The Star Conquerors by Ben Bova.

Happy Saturday!
