Mists of Avalon

[pt_tangles]

Well, my poor copy of MOA seems to have bit the dust. It went with us on our mini-vacation last year to the island and has spent the last six months or so in the trunk of the car (I usually end up reading a lot when I am somewhere away from home for any length of time).

The cover is bent in half now, and the plastic coating is lifting off. In short, it looks fairly nasty now. I am contemplating picking up a new copy, but the fact that it is only the cover that is damaged makes me hesitate. I could make a new cover for it (maybe a scrapbooking style project), and make it more my own. The internal pages are a bit discolored (yellow), but still readable.

Thoughts?

What I tend to do with books I read over and over is to have a copy that stays home and taken care of and a tattered carry-with-me copy. That way, if I lose or somehow destroy one, I have a nice back-up.

In your case, I'd keep your copy as the travel copy and start looking for a homebound one.

Of course, that could explain why I have way too many books.

Now that is just the excuse I was looking for! LOL Ebay has this really lovely hardbound copy of MOA ... the cover image is an embossed pink siloette. I have been lusting over it since I first found it ~_^
