It was hard to choose a quote for today...do I go funny, serious, encouraging...I ended up with this Jane Austen one cuz well...I admit it, I'm a book snob!

What perfect DP, it has a real old-fashioned wallpaper look to it, a great setting for your lady. I once worked in an old house in the UK and the library had a similar style of paper, only much worn with the years.
I agree with the sentiment - I still remember being bemused by a removal man who had come to give us a quote and asked me what we did with all our books.

This made me smile and is so "me" . . .and altho I would not consider myself snobbish, I do always wonder about people, even educated ones . . (a dear friend of mine) Who says I never read a book - if it's any good they'll make a movie of it" . . . Super framing on your straight-laced Victorian woman.

OMG, I love this, and I agree completely I really think I have learned more about the world and history and life from reading good novels than from anything else I read. That vintage image is fabulous.
