Communal Places for Literary
Enthusiasts
E
The Eclipse Bookstore in Bellingham, Wa, is a veritable oasis for book lovers. Two stories of unique books, used and rare,
are carefully shelved - floor to ceiling - while low stacks on polished floors
patiently await perusal and purchase or a more visible place on a shelf once
one becomes available. Soft music complements the atmosphere from the ground-floor
view of Bellingham Bay to welcoming reading nooks down below. Leave your cares
and your timepiece in the car; the visit may take a while. But it will be well
worth it!
What is the title of the oldest book
you own?
“Books to the Ceiling.
Books to the sky. My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need
them! I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them.” ~ Arnold Lobel
Hi Diedre - yes I'm seriously worried now - I might too grow a beard by the time I read all mine! I've a few from the late 1800s ... and I can't tell you the titles right now! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHaha! Same here ;-) I think the oldest book I own is "A Cartoon Guide of Arizona" by Reg Manning - in 1938! It includes a recipe for how to make petrified wood.
