As far as books - I appreciate the offer but I just wouldn’t have the room anymore. We have moved cities and in fact countries since 2013. Many more books didn’t make the move and some are still in boxes. Happy Boxing Day to all the Canadians out there.CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857445223331176908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-11545591098961363412020-12-26T15:43:37.298-06:002020-12-26T15:43:37.298-06:00I bet many of your readers would be willing to sen...I bet many of your readers would be willing to send along a book or two to help a fellow reader/collector.

I hate to see any book rendered unreadable. But then I read your text. And I agree - while keeping books that you loved is like a scrapbook of your reading life, and it's great to go back over the "pages" to reminisce, refilling them will be a great adventure as well. My boyfriend and I used to road trip to used book stores all over the place. We've found some really cool stores, and some really cool people. Now, with the internet, we don't road trip so much and I find that I miss it. We still have several local stores in about an hour's drive radius that we frequent, but that's it. I almost envy you the getting to start over. Still sad for your loss, but hoping you have fun in your restocking! ~~ POMCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-91226283155074081492013-09-11T19:20:58.626-05:002013-09-11T19:20:58.626-05:00So sad.

I had books of many types, some from my years of teaching in community college.<br />The only ones I kept were the Bible from England and the book about the history of Butte Montana, where my mother was born. I keep these two books in baggies and read them wearing gloves, as they are toxic from the fire's fumes. When there is a such as the Cerro Grande, books and cloth may be imbued with toxic chemicals from the smoke itself, from the orange slurry bombs used as fire retardant, and from chemicals such as asbestos which are released from the basements of burned older buildings. The place was unlivable for two years. Then we had another bad forest fire in 2011.
