Fancy! This looks like it came from one of those collector edition sites for books! Definitely a pretty piece to put on the shelf.

In high school my friends and I would use makers to make the edge art so we would have “fancy” books

Wow! That's one thing I miss when reading on e-books. It's extremely convenient, but I miss those treats and the whole experience of holding a beautiful volume!

I use both e reader and paper book. I mostly read library books. I couldn’t afford to keep up with my reading habits 📚 I haven’t bought since before to pandemic.

It is incredibly expensive. I only buy the ones I need for academic reasons... And you can imagine the artwork on those 😂

There's plenty of second hand libraries here that make deals like buy 3 for 5€. That plus public libraries is what keeps me reading to be honest!

Anytime I travel I hit up the library sale section. Then I can abandon them as I go.
