I'm just an old book dealer

It seems we haven't the new hipster looks -
But if you like cool things from way in the past
That haven't been trashed, and managed to last -
If you like pretty objects so curious and old,
So interesting to see and nifty to hold -
Then yes! come and buy our nice lovely books.

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

I've been trying for three days to come up with a worthy response.
This is not it!

Thanks for the smile, Brothertown.

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

I love the poem that opens this post!
Still valid today as much as it was in 2011.

For those who don't know Professor BookNoodle, this is a classic, original VBTEAM store. The professor has been quite successful ... if you're looking for inspiration check out the shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Professor

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

Professor - it is people like you that keeps me grounded with faith that selling vintage books is not a thing of the past but a way to the past.
You made my week Sir - and this jumped out at me - what beauty looks like in paper

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

Now here's an old seller nam'd noodle
Who's peddling his kit and caboodle.
His house, it's all books,
Stuffed crannies and nooks -
Curmudgeony old booker, ol' noodle.

Thank you, all for the kind words!

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

Ah, Professor,
We are but students learning at your knee.
My husband strives to be like you,
with a curmudgeony tone
and a shelf full of tomes

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

I just spend a good while browsing your store. It is delightful! So many amazing selections.

This one caught my eye. I am an actor and a big Lorca fan. I've been searching for translations of his plays. I was looking for a copy of Blood Wedding but was happy I found this. In a few days I may buy it! Just lovely. Thanks Professor, for your passion! If you find any Lorca in the original Spanish please send recommendations my way :)

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

Diana,
Do buy it! That book was calling your name!!

I've noticed I'm not such a good poet as the Professor. I need to work on that.

or maybe I should just work on listing some more books ... sheesh!

Re: I'm just an old book dealer

I bought it! I'm so excited. You're right, Noel, it was calling to me.

Professor Booknoodle, thank you. And if you see this message, do keep an eye out for more Lorca for me, in English or Spanish.

:) Can't wait!
