Happy anniversary! What a lovely haul of books. We are so lucky to have such understanding husbands. Mine reads a lot too but believes you should borrow what you read from the library. What a quaint idea...
ReplyDelete25 is the silver anniversary, isn't it? Congrats, anyway.
ReplyDeleteSome of those digests are very scarce -- the Handi Books, the Black Knight, and the Koehler book from Bleak house. Very nice haul! I don't think I've ever seen that paperback edition of MAD HATTER MYSTERY. Quite uncommon! I really like the Pentecost book cover. I would've bought that in a second. I have yet to read any of his novels, but used to read all those Pierre Chambrun stories in EQMM when I subscribed to it back in my high school days. Happy reading!
Happy Anniversary! There is nothing better than a book- buying spree as a gift. I love your huband's thinking! You picked up some real goodies!
ReplyDeleteJohn, I know it's officially Silver--but you know that for me books are more precious than silver (or gold...). :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat books and covers the lot of them 0 but well done on the anniversary Bev - hope you are having a marvellous silver time!
