You know, after you've given them autographed copies of your series. :-) Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-23197539428203276822014-04-04T00:22:59.663-04:002014-04-04T00:22:59.663-04:00The first version of Return of the Crown was writt...The first version of Return of the Crown was written by hand.

Wish I could have saved them all.<br /><br />I have become a fan of ebooks--which comes as a surprise to even me. I know operate on this method. If an ebook deeply resonates with me, I'll buy a hard copy and try my darnedest to get it autographed. :-) <br /><br />Bravo on your 40+year collection. They are like old friends setting on the book shelves. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-44811990240073948212014-04-03T00:57:21.329-04:002014-04-03T00:57:21.329-04:00Not antiques, but I do have a large hardcover book...Not antiques, but I do have a large hardcover book collection spanning 40 years. I just LOVE the look of books on shelves. Sadly, am running out of space, LOL The whole ebook craze doesn't thrill me at all, but, you can't fight "progress", plus the cost of hard copies has gotten ridiculous. Still, nothing beats the feel and rustle of the page between your fingers.<br /><a href="http://thedogladysden.com/category/writingblogging/atozchallenge/" rel="nofollow">The Doglady's Den</a>Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-66011561865454539112014-04-02T22:15:21.165-04:002014-04-02T22:15:21.165-04:00Good observation, Karen.

I wonder how much time writing a book must have consumed earlier.

When we moved to Guatemala, we had to get rid of our print books and update our Kindles. As a result, I'm not reading as much because I prefer reading books in print but still it's nice to have the option of an ereader.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378428503220197256noreply@blogger.com
