I've bought three books on the Medici. It was a costly venture, but being able to write in the margins and jot ideas and connections beside a highlighted passage...bliss.
I love Google. Bless you, Wikipedia, but nothing...nothing beats a real book in your hand with leaves and a nice, hard cover.

You can't forget the smell of a good book either. I love to just breathe in the words and feel it in my hands. I think over the years I have caressed books with more tenderness than I have any lover:)

I agree with you Irony. I have smelt the pages, kissed passages, etc..
Nothing does beat the feel and heft of a thick book in one's hands.

Do not compare these pleasures, ladies! Do not be so merciless! Don`t forget that the books are the result of living people...
Those miniature charming dreams are eating our lives in one of the most pleasant manners!

By the way, you know that the family was contemporary with Dracula`s father?
Some say that in this painting , in the group of Sigismund of Luxemburg, Dracula`s father was depicted... and this is possible.
