i have a still open used book store in my town. it's a super old building with an oddly deep basement, with books in every tiny corner you can access. i found a children's book from 1850 that was signed in beautifully perfect cursive as a christmas gift to a child. it had 6 or 7 short stories. i still have it somewhere. i wish my nieces and nephews enjoyed reading the way i did when i was their age.
