We stopped yesterday at a used bookstore outside of Middlebury, VT, that I had been eyeing but had not had time to stop at on our previous drives south on Route 7. It was twisty and full of amusingly odd collectible books, and had very delightful non-fiction, cartooning, and poetry sections, as well as a mass of children's picture books (alphabetical by illustrator! odd yet charming - I can see where if you're collecting old ones it might be the artist you're after).
And on a shelf in the children's section, they had 16 titles from Time Life's The Enchanted World series.
I squeeed, asked the proprietor if I could get a cut rate per title if I bought them all. The answer was yes. So now I have 16 of these, and some are ones I'd read before, and some are ones I've never seen before. I'm sure I could Google it, but I don't actually know how many titles were in the series. I am having to work hard to resist the urge to hole up with a gallon of cocoa and not come out till spring.
