I bought it at a used book sale. It's fascinating stuff with PICTURES that I weirdly thought I would use someday...LOL Not a lot of mummies have shown up in my books -- yet -- but someday...

If we don't watch out, our books will take over the house. I can't part with too many and that's why I'm having major space issues, so much so, that my husband built in shelving within my closet walls, but even that's not enough!

Most are part of collections: music, cookbook, romance novels, presidential biographies. Among the more unusual are "Life of Mother Mary Teresa" (circa 1899), "Charles Dickens's Christmas Stories" (circa 1901), "Art of Egypt"(a souvenir from the King Tut Exhibit), and an "Illustrated Medical Dictionary" (from a medical assistant course I once took). I try not to add to my collections, but it's like they have developed a life of their own! Pat Cochran Our books allow us to reside with them – they have

That trickled down to our cowboys and they'd often know the secrets too - well some of them at least! Hi Elizabeth,
