Comment by Luís Filipe Gomes on January 31, 2021 at 6:40pm: "I have a book that, due to lack of printing, reached my hands with several blank sheets. I didn't noticed that because I bought it at a book fair and as it happens to me so often I have too many books to read and lack of time to do it.

I have a huge attachment to books, even books with missing sheets or damaged pages.
Today I started to illustrate that book.

Comment by Jenn Miltenberger on May 22, 2020 at 3:20am: Perhaps I'm in the right place. I'm heavily inspired by things I read and old books. My husband has been libraries for all his adult life. He used to be in charge of weeding material at his previous branch, so I received many great books with damaged spines that they weren't allowed to sell/give to the public.
