Cool! Theodore ROCKS! (Didn't like being called "Teddy" to his face - not fitting for a man of state...)
It is fun having a collection of books. Hmm, they are almost all history books. Did Dash have some influence? :)
Like you said they will come in handy for book reports.
I love books, but I did feel like I'd been robbed when I sold some to half price books. Maybe it was the low price combined with my sadness at parting with some.
