Book Find - A Meeting of Minds

mawra · Apr 19 2010, 11:52 PM

I was out wondering around looking at furniture for the new house & came across a place that sold antique furniture & books.
They had a book of Anne's that I did not have. "Black Horses for The King" is now mine. I had never seen it before and am very happy to get it.

I also bought Kibbie a lamp with pink roses on it & a matching coat hook hanger.
I am glad we stoped there.

Cool, always nice to find things that one doesn't have in one's collection. Enjoy the book and hope Kibbie likes her stuff too

Congratulations Maw...hope you and Kibbie enjoy reading it.

mawra · Apr 21 2010, 12:14 AM

I have read most of it & find that I like the book.

***Hans*** · Apr 21 2010, 01:10 PM

Yeah, it's a great little book, isn't it? Something different but definitely McCaffrey

Great find, Mawra, congratulation.

It's always great to find a book that you don't have in your collection or that you were seeking for a long time. That happened to me once, while in a bookstore, and the first thing I saw after coming in was that the sequel to a book (the forth Artemis Fowl book, actually) is translated and out! And I haven't even been expecting it! That's always a welcome and a great suprise!

Kibbie is the one who spotted the book first. I am so proud, I have trainer her right.

Nice team work then, Maw!

Golden Talisath · Apr 23 2010, 02:43 PM

Great for you, Maw!

Great find, Maw and Kibbie! I love the book, there is some interesting information (well to me anyway) which always makes a good read.

Glad you enjoyed it, as a horse fan(atic) I personally thought it was a great addition to the McCaffrey stable
