Collecting children's books is contagious.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, Anastasia asked me to put a link to my blog for parents and kids reading together on the carnival for tomorrow so I did so. We already have a connection! If you'd like to be "linked" on Linkedin, just check out my profile and send me an invite!Cathy Puett Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359939210231329861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-39233710659518365152010-01-27T14:22:17.663-06:002010-01-27T14:22:17.663-06:00Wonderful post.

Sadly, we don't have an independent bookstore that specializes in new books--just the big chain stores. But there is something about browsing in a used bookstore that's like nothing else...the smell of the books, the atmosphere of the place...Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-50537660831154841262010-01-16T08:31:38.162-06:002010-01-16T08:31:38.162-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-48398857675091975632010-01-11T20:31:23.318-06:002010-01-11T20:31:23.318-06:00You are very welcome!

Thank you for posting your essay.<br /><br />I had NO IDEA about D.O.N.A.L.D., and it's something I think I should have at least stumbled upon by now.

Also you can put want lists for unfindable books at Abebooks, and they will let you know even many years later if the book appears on their website. I think you can also specify price range with that want list feature.Jenny Schwartzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346217514073560797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-70986086761271184152010-01-09T21:54:27.059-06:002010-01-09T21:54:27.059-06:00There's a lot to think about here.

I love how the internet has been able to reunite me with some of my childhood favorites, but at the same time have been dismayed by how pricey the books can be.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-49294716747356773442009-12-28T10:55:29.683-06:002009-12-28T10:55:29.683-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Christopher Posnerhttp://www.cnposnerbooks.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543651149748871178.post-73028690114069081392009-12-25T17:44:59.779-06:002009-12-25T17:44:59.779-06:00Thank you Susan!
