Space saver book boxes

I had book shelves at home. One was a typical book shelf that you can see in most libraries. The other was with built-in glass.

But I notice, when you are living at the hot and humid environment, books are prone to dust and bugs. Of course, as a certified book collector, I intend to protect my precious collections.

I come up with the idea of tote boxes.

Ideal place for books indeed. Protects them from dust, bugs or any harmful substance that will damage the books. It wasn't air lock of course, but I find it more convenient than bulky book shelves.

Girls Life Application Bible - A Cute Bible

One of the coolest way to catch young ones attention. The book was covered with soft leather, engraved with floral and hearts designs. Thick. Bigger than ordinary trade pb. Around 8 1/2 inches tall. 1000+ pages. From Old Testament to New.

But that extra cover with handle was sold separately.

So I am in the mood for a little creativity. I added butterfly trinket on the bible case. 

And a little teddy bear keychain on it. Every kids will love it. Oh well I would say my way of motivation technique. 

Book grabs for this week

I  will always be the Historical Romance Fan. I was in junior high when I first read a romance novel. Mills & Boons and Harlequin was the pioneer back then. 

At first, I enjoyed looking at the covers. The painting was so amazing. It wasn't a picture with the touch of airbrush from a computer program.

Computer generated painting isn't existing back then. It was all manually draw from real life models. My amazement draw my curiosity to read the book. 

Then the rest was history. 

I loved it! My eyes were opened to another world. I find historical romance more pleasant to read than contemporaries that time. I need something substantial to enhance my vocabulary. 

Since then, I got all hooked up. 

Fast forward... not bad for $30 value. All hard covers, from Good to VG condition.
