litlover12Okay, not really. But I have seen the most beautiful set of books I've ever seen in my life. Just look at them:
Look at those gorgeous pastel colors. They're like . . . the Easter eggs of the book world. Or something. I don't know. They're so beautiful, words fail me.
Obviously, I can't spend what they're charging for a set of Dickens books that I already own in other editions. But that doesn't keep me from going back now and then just to look . . . and look . . . and look.

I might pick up one or two -- I can put them in that Dickens-themed room I'm going to create someday! :-)
