I am officially in mourning - I had always wanted to own copy of the Britannica and now I can only have an old one. I love books, it is as Agnes says, the feel of them. Nothing compares to the feel when you open a first edition hardback that you have just bought, smoothed down the first page and smell the print on the page. I hoard new books so that when we go on holiday I can lie in bed with a new book and enjoy it. With a good book, I ration the chapters to make them last longer and extend the enjoyment of holding the book until I finish it. What makes me strange to kindle people is that I will happily buy an audio book of a printed book I have read so I can listen to it in the car and I will also then reread the book in paper format after listening to it. Recently I listened to 'What the Grown Ups were Doing' on Radio 4 - what was my response - I bought a copy for myself and one for mum to read. I love films, I love audio books and radio 4 is my intellectual home but I still love a glossy magazine or a new hardback book.
