I have a difficult time not picking up an old book when I find one. I like to look at the yellowed pages, smell the dustiness that has accumulated over many years, and admire the worn binding and dog-eared pages.

Reference books like thesauri and dictionaries are my Achilles heel. So this blog post definitely caught my attention and I think you will find it interesting as well.
