generic user Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 here's the first 17 moderns (and some later) Killer stuff as usual HC I sometimes take runs out of their bags and boards, read them, then leave them in a big old stack of GA. Something strangely thrilling about seeing them like that The weather was surprisingly nice Sunday, so I let the kiddies out to play. You have to let your books breath every once in awhile I keep a bunch of low grade/incomplete books on my spinner rack and in an old Coke crate just to keep the office smelling right.

ciorac Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I decided to put a group shot together of a dozen of my favorite books. These are part of my "forgotten keys" collection that I'm assembling. Why collect forgotten keys? Two reasons, I like them, and they are affordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
