Although I've found my kindle life-changing (especially financially), it's not to be able to pass the book along to somebody you've just recommended it to. That's one reason why print books with their lovely covers will always be with us.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-65054148071978814322014-02-28T13:49:34.795+11:002014-02-28T13:49:34.795+11:00Paula, lovely post :) I like your hands and feet a...Paula, lovely post :) I like your hands and feet analogy.

So a lot to be said for the printed word - especially when they have lovely covers. They are then so uniquely special. It's one of the things I regret about using a Kindle - even though I find it really practical at holiday time. I can't pass on the story in hard copy, thought I can still recommend it. It's always great to be reminded of the power and lasting effect of the written word.

Every so often, I receive a bit of feedback from somebody who has just read 'Picking up the Pieces' for example, which was first published in 2000. And for your books, people are blessed with tales of bygone eras too, from when our country was younger. What a blessing.<br />I'm glad you like the cover. I really like it too.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-67804236252775090292014-02-28T10:30:12.523+11:002014-02-28T10:30:12.523+11:00Hi Penny,

These days, we're sometimes influenced to think that books have a shelf life, but it's not the case at all. And in your case, that spreading may go through the generations of families, as somebody passes one of your books they've enjoyed when they were young on to their children.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-62781414943024108912014-02-28T10:28:31.720+11:002014-02-28T10:28:31.720+11:00Hi Jo-Anne,

Those two words are to me a little prayer that whoever reads the book, now or in future years, will hear God speak to them through it in some way.
