Old books




Every now and then my grandfather gives me one of the old books he got from an uncle who had an extensive library a long time ago. All those books are so well kept they almost seem to be new. I like this one which is a 1931 Macmillan edition, "Thy Servant a Dog" by Rudyard Kipling. The illustrations by G. L. Stampa are just great. And this book smells so good. I'll think I'll get some copies of the pictures and get them framed.
