About my libraryThis is the last paragraph from an essay my 12 year old daughter Beth wrote on "What I Am Thankful For".
"Last, but not by any means whatsoever least, I am thankful for books. Not only my books, any books. Reading is magical. When I read a book, I am taken from my own little world and plunged into someone else’s. I forget all my problems, so absorbed am I in someone else’s. Many times am I reminded that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. A book is often better than the cover reveals, like expecting vanilla and getting chocolate. Sometimes, I am swept away into the book. I can see the diamond dragon burst through the waterfall, aim my arrows at invading Calormenes, and see for myself Aslan the Great Lion. Books are so wonderful, I began to write my own. I put my personality into a character, make up countries with funny sounding names, and know how a book will end before it is even written. Make no mistake about it - books are awesome!"

ANYWAY, what I was leading up to was, which ones do you lack- I might perhaps have some several of them (I am probably going to cut back to just two sets) which I would sell you for a mutually agreed upon price (based, of course, upon condition) plus shipping. these would probably not be cherry #1s, but would serve as space fillers until you can find a better copy/earlier addition (WARNING: that's how I wound up with three or four of each!).
I hope this did not come across as avaricious- it was not meant as such!

I just saw your post over in the bookshelves, etc., group. A cool selection of what appear to be well-used books, if I may say so.
Looking at your library it's fairly obvious you have an interest in the martial arts, so I wanted to throw a couple of books your way. While I own both books I actually haven't gotten around to reading either of them, but they seem like ones you might like. The first book is called "By the Sword: A History of Gladiators, Musketeers, Samurai, Swashbucklers, and Olympic Champions" by Richard Cohen and the second book is "Jason Striker Martial Arts" (ISBN: 1401033490) by fantasy author Piers Anthony and Roberto Fuentes (apparently a Judo expert from Cuba). The first book is reputedly a very fun read (although with quite a few medieval related errors per a historian on Amazon.com) and the second contains two novels from what looks to have been a four-book 1970's series (there's only one review on Amazon, but it's a glowing one that doesn't seem to be phony). Anthony's early works were some of my favorites in my mid-teens and I've always been interested in the martial arts, so I was quite surprised to discover the Jason Striker books just a couple of years ago. Anyway, just thought I'd pass them on to you in case you're interested.
Finally, while I don't have or want any children, I have to say I'm sometimes tempted when I occasionally run across a child such as your daughter; good job to you and your wife.

I had a 12-year old daughter like that once---she is now 25, working on her PhD in creative writing and still finding time to tell me about the latest wonderful book she read. Lucky us!
