What Stories Do Your Books Tell?

24 Jul

I love to go to used book stores, yard sales and auctions to buy books. Inevitably, you find little personal details of the previous owners within them. Old photographs. Coins. Letters. I even found a four-leave clover in a book on superstitions.

The Guardian's Theresa Malone has a terrific column about the life of books – and how electronic devices take away the pleasures of a book's past.

Check out Every Book Tells a Story.
