It has a journey that maybe started when you picked it up off the shelf of a bookstore or ordered it new online. Maybe it started 50 years ago and has passed through a dozen different owner's hands. Every crease or crack or blemish, to me, is just a sign of the life it has lived and I appreciate that. It means it's been well loved. Maybe my book comes back to me or maybe it doesn't. If it's one I love, I will buy it again used. I guess a believe a book is always where it's meant to be.
Best,

I appreciate the view you take on this. Let's keep the used books going around. Thank you!

True! This happened to me once and sadly, that book is now gone. Never doing it again unless someone close to me is borrowing.Fran wrote: One of my pet peeves is when I lend a book to someone & they lend it on to a 3rd party without my permission & then deny any responsibility for making sure it is returned. That really, really annoys me because I think it is extremly disrespectful.
