Book shelves series #25, twenty-fifth Sunday of 2012: Cookbooks and some photo albums.
We’ve moved out of the living room and looped into the kitchen/eat-in dining room. Cookbooks and photo albums occupy a little-built in under the eat-in counter.
There’s a shelf of cookbooks at the bottom of a buffet-thing. In the good old days it held vinyl LPs.

I think I would love having a little shelf in the kitchen for my cookbooks. I may have to create something or another – thanks for the idea. Your shelves are so fun and filled!

Oh just like home! In 1997 or so I started an internet used book business on half.ebay and amazon. The real reason was it gave me the excuse to boxes of books all at once. In the Ozarks at that time people bought the boxes to use to start fires in their wood stoves. So I could get a really big box for $1.00. Then I went to local library sales. Then I got the librarians to let me go through them before the sales. I can go through a room of books like a hot knife through butter! I ended up with thousands and thousands. I did this for about 10 years and I hoarded all the ones I wanted to read, all the ones I just loved so much from other times that I just had to have them again, well, you know…………And I read constantly so I could sell a book I was keeping. One time in Kansas City I was going to yard sales and late in the day came across one with huge piles of law books. I knew what they wee worth but my car was full, I was tired, and so I stood there just looking and looking. The guy and his wife said, “We’ll give you all of them for $10.00.” Now how could I refuse that! But I said, “Oh I am going to have to take my car apart and repack it to get them in” “No problem, we’ll do that for you.”
I gave in. I lived all summer off those books. I lived in Thornfield then (Rochester’s place) and could just walk out my back door through the grass with my dog directly to the post office with my two shopping bags of law books. Such a simple life and so nice.
