Continuing the anniversary countdown of A Pretty Book, here is my ninth most popular post.  It was a Weekend Treat feature on July 10, 2011.

The New York Public Library is heaven for a booklover.

The first time I traveled alone and visited New York, I walked past the library and a bomb exploded in a trash can. It made quite a sound booming through the canyons of Manhattan. Subsequent visits have been quietly uneventful and I’ve browsed the library many times although usually accompanied by teenagers wishing they were somewhere else.

The auction yesterday was amazing but most of the book prices were out of my league. However, I managed to snag a few items I really wanted and will share them later this week.

Enjoy,
