Once home, I realized it was missing from arm. Frantically, I put on my gym clothes & headed 40 miles downtown with a flashlight. I found it in the middle of a street where I parked 3 hours earlier. It was run over.  A Sapphire is embedded in someone’s tire. But I rescued it. Goldmasters will restore it. It may be slightly crushed, but it’s found. Thankfully the rain protected it until I could reclaim it from the lonely place on the black asphalt street. Seriously, what are the odds?!

She commented how lovely it is to handle the hardback and pause between pages to reflect. She does not have a Kindle nor will she ever. She joins me and many of you who love the total experience of a fine book binding.
