treasures from the stacks

#1 Post by lilyvonschtupp26 » Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:33 am

I was doing inventory this morning in the 'F' section, and pulled out books and found an old, very dusty copy of Horatio Hornblower by C.S. Forester. It's a first edition signed by the author. It's never been checked out. . .
It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many lives as we wish. -S.I. Hayakawa

Cool!

The library labelling probably hurts a bit, but that's still a valuable book!

Wow.

I used to love to roam around at the main branch of the Philadelphia Free Library. Found all sorts of interesting things.
