I just got a first edition of Grant's Memoirs a few weeks ago, and while I don't have the fire, sitting in a warm comfy chair with an old book is always a great joy.<br /><br />Also curious if I can still post here, since Whirled is still shutting me out...Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312768583084063120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-50310206334468481192011-11-06T17:25:27.571-08:002011-11-06T17:25:27.571-08:00Hi Thom,

These are beautiful bookends!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-23622378689060489742011-11-06T14:24:09.462-08:002011-11-06T14:24:09.462-08:00Nice.

I didn...I can't believe you have these Thomas!<br /><br />I didn't remember those bookends until I saw them but my grandmother (a forth grade teacher) had these bookends and I really believe it was part of the reason I read so much now. <br /> I used to play with the dog, put my fingers in the slippers and wonder...always wonder what he was reading. I would pretend I was small and could crawl into his lap and listen to the most wonderful stories. <br /> If anyone out there know where I can find some of these bookends, please contact me...they were a sweet part of my childhood.Kate Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861373649696211491noreply@blogger.com
