Ah, the almost-forgotten pleasure of holding something like this in your hands. That’s something the ebook can’t dream of.
There’s nothing like holding a good book and reading at leisure.

Merry Christmas, dear friends!
And the same to you, Fabio. Here’s to another year of blogging friendship..
Thanks so much! You are too kind! 🙂
Oh, my! I especially like that Fitzgerald cover – it’s gloriously retro.
Have a look at them all- I had trouble choosing, they are all so gorgeous.
They are wonderful. l love the cover of that edition of Virginia Woolf’s The Years. And then there’s the Hemingway…
And Call It Sleep (sigh)
