Really good, trust me....

I realize that, I only mentioned it, as the collection was one I'd always found esp. unique, further, while I do read such texts on a screen, there's a winsome traditional charm to reading a text, that no computawr version will, thankfully, at least in my view, ever entirely supplant. My Dad had a very serious collection of paperbacks when I was a kid, that I quite voraciously plowed through, I've always been a fan of doing so wit paperbacks ever since. Trust me, progress, while of course inevitable, isn't always necessarily the most desirable of things all the time, in all circumstances, regardless of cost doing things in a more traditional fashion, by any means. Computer screens can't be annotated in a margin, they can't have dog eared pages, they can't have the battered look of a comfortable old pair of leather shoes, I do fathom your point, please do know that, I just tend wit such things to frequently be rather retro, provincial, and nostalgic in my views. I'm peobalby also one of the few whomaftuappy remembers vacuum tubes, crustal radios, listening to radio programs like The Shadow, IBM punch cards timesharing computers with audio modems, etc. Believe me, the very nest vocation I ever had has been tomrummage through a used book stele, trust me, lol.
