I do still use my library a great deal so I haven't got too large a collection of books and if there is one that I want to have in my collection I do try to see if I can get on kindle first.

I read comics that were positively ancient but still being "traded" with enthusiasm. And in those days, it wasn't environmentalism behind the recycling, it was economics -- kids had no money!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-56616819039142051042016-04-18T05:23:38.696-07:002016-04-18T05:23:38.696-07:00The title of your post puzzled me, until I read it...The title of your post puzzled me, until I read it, since "Read Only Once" can be taken as present or past tense. Then I realized you meant books that have had many owners and readers. It is fascinating to think who else read a book you hold in your hands. I might have to find that 1925 book. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
