For me, that would be their primary purpose.<br /><br />Nothing can replace the actual look and feel of a book in the hand. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-63309522119136168692011-07-18T10:05:18.059-04:002011-07-18T10:05:18.059-04:00Pat: Thanks.

The only way I can see using it is when traveling or for text books. You travel a lot, Pat, so you might consider taking your Kindle rather than the weight of actual books. Just a thought.<br /><br />But other than that: No. :)<br /><br />SARAH'S KEY.

And you're fotunate enough to travel to England so you might be able to see Mrs. Delany's work at the British Museum - assuming it's availble to the public.

I wasn't able to renew it then, so I put it on hold again. I just received notice that it's waiting for me and I'm looking forward to finishing it. It's much better than I had anticipated. And it is a beautifully put together book. Mrs. Delaney is an inspiration for those of us 'older' ladies who are sometimes too lazy and afraid to start something new!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-52753840864671380652011-07-17T05:31:27.688-04:002011-07-17T05:31:27.688-04:00Hello Yvette:

We have never heard of this book or the artist,but this all sounds most intriguing. As you say, with its beautiful illustrations, this is a book to have and to hold rather than merely see it 'online'. In that respect, if nothing else, it is exactly 'up our street'!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-48542676617590117232011-07-16T18:32:06.846-04:002011-07-16T18:32:06.846-04:00Thanks, Kathy!
