A book is more than paper and glue. It’s transportation to another world, it’s information, and it’s food for the soul. If you’re anything like me, you can never have enough. This often leads to stacks of books overtaking areas of the house. And, as the digital age has infiltrated the book world, the book hoarding has moved to phones, computers, and tablets.
