Welcome!

You're standing in cove decorated with books on all three sides, from floor to ceiling the shelves are full of books waiting for the eager dreamer reader to pick them up.

Some books only have one available option, and that's perfectly fine; however, sometimes there is a choice to be made. Do you get the paperback version or the hardcover version. The factor of cost can make this an easy question to answer as paperback tends to be cheaper. The factor of durability can also aid in choosing the hardcover version as the pages are usually more protected against unwanted folding.

For someone like me, I am in the middle. Usually the appearance of a book can sway me to spend a little more on the hardcover, or the pretty sprayed edges featured on some paperbacks will take hold. Because of this, I am often grabbing a hardcover book and removing the dust jacket to see what design lies beneath it. If I am met with simple foiled lettering on the spine, I am likely to choose the paperback version (or whichever one has sprayed edges because I love a good sprayed edge).

That is where this blog comes into play.

I will be starting with hardcover books I currently own (or purchase) and will showcase what the books look like behind the dust jackets.

I will accept requests if there is a book you would like to see as I make frequent trips to bookstores.

Too damn busy to keep up, as usual but here’s a double threat. I have many editions and some collections (most incomplete, unfortunately) of one of my absolute adventure writers: Jules Verne. I read a lot of his books and I have s tang inclination to his “lesser” know novels like these ones over here, 4 volumes that I scored at the flea market for a mere 10€, 12 bucks. The tiles are, in my  best English, Drama at Livonia, The Adventures of 3 Russian and 3 Englishmen in Austral Africa and the two volumes of Matias Sandorf. This will amount to great breakfast reading and soon I will show you some more pieces of my Jules Verne collection. These are all hard covers, with that old attached red string book mark, beautiful font size and everything a book should be. 

Until soon, thanks for the follow.

#Ampersandmarch17 Book Photo Challenge: Day 23: Puzzle. I highly recommend The Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole if you want to read a series that has some really puzzling plot twists and is highly addicting! I don't see these books around on bookstagram that much, and the only other person I know who's familiar with this series is @jacethereader, so I thought I should spread the word! #nodustjacket tag tagged by @signourney, thank you! 😊❤️📚
