Books as Objects of Desire


Will you buy a book for its cover? I know I will (not this one). To me, book cover is an art form that's often ignored by people.

Though I rarely read historical novels, the printing and binding of this book delight me. I also like the smell of the papers used. After seeing it on display for 4 weeks, I finally brought it home. (Oh, forget to mention the writing is actually quite good.)

Such a delightful book to read and such a charming cover!
