<DIV><FONT color=#ff8000>Not understanding this conversation. Do the words in a
book have less value <BR>because the book was bought in a thrift shop rather
than for full value in a <BR>book store?<BR>Did the words or message somehow
change...Second hand Rose<BR> <BR>Dave<BR> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Dave, John was simply pointing out that I missed something in the original
posting: the book called <EM>God's Debris</EM> is available FREE on the internet
as an e-book, actually as an Adobe Acrobat file which takes less than a minute
to download. Once I noticed that, I downloaded it. So I don't have to wait until
it is old to buy it. I have started reading it, and actually find it kind of
boring. The blurb was much more exciting. Its not bad, just not all that
riveting or informative or inspiring. In my opinion, seldom a humble one, but
mine alone. Every reader is entitled to their own.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as my original comments, no, the value of the words to a reader are
not less when the book is bought second hand, they just cost less. I was just
commenting on the fact that I seldom buy a book new, and find old cheap books to
be very good reading. Time seems to season them a bit, like old wines. I don't
drink wine, old or new, but so I've heard.</DIV>
