Left book out overnight
I dropped off a book for my sister in law. No one
was home so I left it on the back stoop in a plastic grocery bag. I think maybe they went out of town and I'm not sure they'll be back tonight. Temps are going to be hovering around freezing. Do you think the book will be safe to read? nancy |

(laugh) I knew I should have looked for a sturdier bag on the way out the door. Oh, well. It's not a priceless first edition or anything. nancy |

Point: In college, I worked in the library bookbindery. If you must
do this, wrap the book first in absorbant matrial, be it paper towel, or, as we used to recommend, brown grocery sack. It's the moisture that causes the damage. Better, put it into a foodsaver bag and suck it down. I do this with my rare books because where I live, we have hurricanes.

That's one way to save them! This is just a recent hardcover, I'd rather it not be ruined but it's certainly replaceable. I repaired books at the library where I worked as a teenager, but nothing like what you did. nancy > On Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:35:08 -0500, Nancy Young > > wrote: > >> On 12/30/2014 6:27 PM, wrote: >>> On Tuesday, December 30, 2014 3:12:06 PM UTC-8, Nancy Young wrote: >> >>>> Temps are going to be hovering around freezing.

In fact, I'll go so far as to declare the song, "beautiful." Jimmy Webb wrote beautiful love songs that brought more love into existence. His songs celebrated love, and while I have yet to assemble a collection (mix tape) of Webb songs as a soundtrack for *lovemaking*, that seems like an awfully good idea. Valentine's Day 2015: tears and kisses, and more and more kisses, more tears and more kisses; reflection, honest reflection to the extent that is appropriate for each of you, accompanied by tender affection. Follow that up with great sex, or sleeping in each others arms, knowing what the morning will bring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MiQzAo6Cp8 Yeah. It's like that. --Bryan |
