Bird, did you order your clear bookcovers, and do you like 'em? I checked out the page; thanks, Sharon; if I majored in hardbound books, I'd go for it.

I just bought a beat-up copy of MacDonald's "What's Mine's Mine" that might be worth a roll of the clear covers, anyway, just to keep that one book from further falling apart. And speaking of falling apart, it looks like some silverfish got to the binding:
scroll down to picture of binding

and I'd hate to have them infest the rest of my books! As in, my Tolkien collection... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

My question is, should I be worried about whether there were (shudder) eggs laid in the book after they munched it? And if so, what should I do?

Sharon, what would you do?

Meanwhile, I need to make room on my Lewis/ MacDonald shelf for it. That means the Fairy Tales & Myths will need a shelf of their own... whee! maybe under the Tolkien shelves... seems fitting...

--Helen

ps. On another note, How's the needlework going, O ye nimblefingered elvish ladies?
