I love these kind of finds in libraries. And I love a great library!

[@apocalypsereading7117]

the Vancouver central library is one of the best i've ever been in, just my favourite place to be probably 📚

[@errata9968]

Gotta love a library.

[@apocalypsereading7117]

I love a serendipitous book find!

[@apocalypsereading7117]

i've been blessed to have several!

I have the same feeling about Daphne du Maurier! I've only ever read Rebecca and while I have her other books, I only feel lik I can always read her some other time. I always see her books whenever I browse used bookstores so there's that element of reliability as well

[@apocalypsereading7117]

yeah i feel like publishers jsut went wild for her at some point in the last decade or so, unless i was just blind to her bookshelf presence when i was a kid...

I felt this way about the Box Man! I tried for such a long time to find it in stores in the US, but found it in the first store I walked into in Amsterdam🇳🇱!

[@apocalypsereading7117]

it's a good feeling, right?? is that the one by Kobo Abe? i guess for some of these older classics they got published in English in either Europe or America decades ago and haven't been revisited since, so the only way to get your hands on them is by A) paying your inheritance to internationally import someone's family heirlooms off ebay or B) travelling across the Atlantic Ocean...

i have had my heart beat a bit faster on coming upon some books at booksales that have been like seeing an unexpected loved one in a crowd.

[@apocalypsereading7117]

yes, that's the proper way to describe it, absolutely. i think i need you to script some of my rambley videos =)
