Beautiful Things

This is a treasure of mine. A gift actually, from my dad, and it's been years in the making. It's  The Library of  Presidents by Easton Press. Leather and gold and ribbon bookmarks. Handsome. Very handsome. It is a complete set minus three volumes that somehow I missed getting during assorted moves and address changes over the years. I will be getting those volumes soon and then my set will be complete. Ah, contentment. I want to read them all (in chronological order of course) someday, but not today. Today I am just going to admire how nice they look on my bookshelf. It makes me feel smarter just having them there.

I almost forgot. Thank you dad!
