It feels a bit like choosing between a respectable upper-crust aunt to have tea with (which would be perfectly delightful) or choosing the eccentric uncle, who could regale one with the wild tales of a conquering hero. :)Kathyhttp://30yearsworth.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-29118238949721009592013-02-17T20:55:48.640+02:002013-02-17T20:55:48.640+02:00OH, I like the first ones.

Well, I understand your reaction, but there were 100,000 other books at the fair that could be handled and many were for sale on the spot. <br /> These big lushly illustrated books were just too special to be touched by the thousands of people visiting the fair. There were people working at the big tables who would put on the white gloves and turn pages if you asked. I didn't talk to any of them. I suppose orders could be made if someone really could afford to buy such books. <br />I can most a few examples in the next few days, bli neder. <br /><br />VP, really? Cool! I hope you had a teacher. Bindery looks like a skill one must learn as an apprentice.
