I had to learn to let that one go to a degree.<br /><br />As far as germs, I hit the used book stores, so I'm not a germaphobe when it comes to books, though I wash my hands everytime before I eat, regardless.Cormac Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990698766444728760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-46978149509237218092009-07-14T20:41:32.885-07:002009-07-14T20:41:32.885-07:00Books are one thing I don't feel comfortable l...Books are one thing I don't feel comfortable lending out.

I know writers hate to hear that because it slows down their sales, but economy and space have dictated.<br /><br />The couple shelves or so that I do have filled with books that are dear to me (and many are signed), so I'm like the lady you quoted, I don't loan them out freely.<br /><br />I do have a few cheezy paperbacks that you are welcome to.Pyzahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629594885566073764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-3709017022664310202009-07-14T09:55:59.629-07:002009-07-14T09:55:59.629-07:00Lending is giving something to a friend, not worry...Lending is giving something to a friend, not worrying about getting it back.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.com
