It is in the spirit of complete honesty that I share this with you, because I know that as a creative and no doubt, passionate person yourself, you'll understand.
I'm head over heels in love. With Amazon.
Books delivered straight to your door. Books whose bindings crack when you open them. The smell of fresh paper and ink. Decorative endpapers. A boatload of inspiration in words and pictures. And all for low prices. I can hardly stand it.
It wasn't until, on a whim, I spent a ridiculous amount on this book, that I realized I might have a problem. Don't get me wrong, this book is breathtaking. (Seriously, I had to stop and catch my breath when hauling it from the front door to the living room.) But it is nearly the size of a coffee table, and I am running out of space.
You might assume that now that I've bared my soul, and this ever-so-shameful secret is out in the open that I might stop ordering books. You would be wrong. And if you'll pardon me, I have to check the status of my next order.
I, too, have this problem...should we be the first to begin D.B.L.A.? (delivered book lovers annonymous) That book is beautiful!
