This is my step-bookshelf. As lovely as it is, it never gets any natural light (stupid sun!), so I rarely take pictures of it. I felt like a bad dad, though. So here it is. :D Now get back to your chores, step-bookshelf! :P

Discarded books need love, too

I found these discarded books at a library sale. After serving their masters faithfully for decades, they were abandoned, discarded. :(

When I found them, they were having difficulty breathing under the plastic. Someone had taped the plastic on. (Cruel!) And just as bad, there were a number of stickers all over the books. Poor things. *sigh*

Tape hasn’t looked like this since the ‘70s! It gives you an idea how long these babies have been suffering.

They felt relieved when the tape was removed, but it left scars. :(

Now it was time for the stickers. The books were scared, so I had to pet them as I was removing the stickers.

Ugh! There was a sticker under the sticker! And this one was really tough to remove…

One sticker left all kinds of residue, and the book was still really uncomfortable. :(

We had to go into emergency protocol! This is a dangerous procedure, as it’s impossible to predict the allergic reactions of abandoned books to topical medications since their genetic history is unavailable to us.
