checkers65477Snagged at the last minute on eBay. It holds recipes now.
My copy of Claverhouse, by Gordon Daviot, finally came! It took two months and four days to arrive. This verifies my theory that the postal services of multiple countries hate me. The book isn't in great shape, but it's fine. It has a musty, used bookstore smell to it, which I like in musty, used bookstores. Not so much in the kitchen when I'm eating my lunch. But so far I'm enjoying the story very much.

I know it's poetic and geeky to love old book smell, but I can't stand it. I like the sharp tang of new paper and ink.
