Of the books are old, use can them in decor. I have an old set of encyclopedias O ise for this purpose. You might also use the jardnack binding I'm various crafts or use the pages for wreaths, decoupage, or bunting.

  Wish I had one in my area, the used bookstores here are not as good. Back when I was young and single and didn't have a date on Friday or Saturday night, I could walk from my apartment to J J Newberry 5 & dime, then grab a quick bite to eat at a local burger joint, then spend hours at 2 local used bookstores that stayed open till 2 a.m. And walk home safely. Ha! Those were the days!

  🤗 When I visit Asheville, NC I always stop in at least once. Fun way to spend a morning or afternoon. I always get stuck in the cookbook section and find something I want to make, then head to the grocery store before heading to my girlfriends house. Fun times!
