Not many know this but I am very passionate about history and books. Those particular passions combine themselves in my passion for antique books. Words hold such power, and eloquent words hold even more powers. Today I went to one of my favorite book stores of all time with my mother and found some more books for my book collection. I found a book published in 1905, 1912, and 1925 these were all published in a time when books were hand printed and hand bound. If you could afford a book you would have to either save your pennies or be rich. The illistrations are so beautifully done and well perserved. I also love the words. So eloquent, beautiful and descriptive they just make your mind dance in aniticipation and visions of beauty. I decided to pull out my book collection and show all of you my antique book collection. Many of these I have had since I was a child as they were gifts from loved ones I care about deeply. Todays books dsc00962.JPG dsc00963.JPG dsc00965.JPG

This book is my oldest book in my collection. Its called castle craney crow and was published in 1902 dsc00979.JPG dsc00980.JPG dsc00981.JPG
I am sad to say that my favorite bookstore. Where I purchased all of theses books is moving to a new city. It sucks because I remember going there when I was a child with my dad. I used to spend hours pouring over books there with him. It was some of my happiest moments. I think that is where my love of history started as well as my love of books. To bad I have yet to find any sub, slaves, piggies, sugar daddies, or atms who are interested in art, books, history and music. Then I might actually enjoy having an intelligent converstation with them that does not include them simpering over me all the time. It gets boring and annoying. I would much rather have a sub that can hold a converstation then one that cannot any day.
