Book Board Chat

aegbooks: Yes I have several of them in my collection. They are very pretty and the larger ones are quite expensive.

Diane/Furtima: You said your dad loved books and had many but you never saw him read them. My dad loved to read and even when he became legally blind (macular degeneration) he listened to at least 2 or 3 books a week that he got from the National Library Service for the Blind. When my mother suggested he donate or sell some of his books, he was horrified at the suggestion. He loved his books even though he couldn’t read them, and he wanted them nearby. Sometimes he would stand at the bookcase and pull out a book and ask which book it was.
