	I had a friend who wandered in a found a facsimile reprint of
Kenelm Digby's Closet for 6.00.  I was very envious.  Now if I see a book
that I have but is a good source, I pick them up and use them as gifts
especially for people who live in areas that have no or mainstream
bookstores.   Even those Amazon.com is quite nice and very helpful.  I love
looking in bookstores because there is a pleasure in finding te right book
for whatever reason.


I haven't been to a bookstore in awhie due to finances so I'm having
withdrawals (grin)
