Books and Art

There is no difference between a painting and a book. Both are works of art. The buyer of a painting goes to an art gallery to assess his goods,while a book collector visits the book store to view his potential treasure by reading the authors comments and/or a published book review. Facsimiles and/or copies of both can easily be made for sale. Before purchase both potential buyers often consult respective colleagues for an independent assessment. In the final analysis the purchase is often dependent of the buyer just liking the "item ".
As the years go by and the collector view their painting or reread their book, they often become even more attached to their purchase to the point where they are reluctant to either loan and/or sell their purchase. It is not surprising to find that the donation of art (collections) as well as books (libraries) are often made only by executors, i.e. made after the individual has died.
I recently added to my library "Natural Cures "They" don t want you to know about ". by Kevin Trudeau. My wife negatively commented about my purchase not being aware of the joy and satisfaction I get in purchasing this addition to my library
