Dive into Yesterday’s Classics

Posted in Reviews

My love of books is evidenced by all of the full book cases around our house.  Unfortunately, sometimes finding the classics can be a time consuming and expensive endeavor.  It can also be difficult to move a huge collection of books every time the military sends us to a new location.  Not to mention, some houses don’t have room for all of our books.  Each move seems to require a book purge **gulp** before and sometimes after the move.

Munchkin is doing a great job.  Yes, she’s occasionally getting a bit side-tracked, but she is a 12-year-old girl.  **grin**  Daddy was able to hobble downstairs and outside to check out her work which made…
