Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I love books! I worked at a Borders for 5 years...For #6, never write in the cover of the book when gifting it...it immediately makes it worthless unless it is signed by the author! We used to give customers little cards that could double as a bookmark when they let us know it was a gift.
