They were my mother’s and I kept them for sentimental reasons..I use the internet for everything now.
I disposed of the majority of them but keep some to hold down the kitty covers that protect the guest room beds..I have used them to make a proper height on the bench I used to put my keyboard on when I could still sit at a regular PC.
I have raised the height of a small TV in the guest room before I put a larger one in there. They are heavy, have black covers that did not look bad.. The books were the last things I moved and it finished me for the day.
I will never give up on REAL Books! I am on Page 931 of War and Peace right now! LOL!
I love the weight of a book, the feel of a book, the smell of a book, the sound when you turn the pages.
They are also good for holding down tarps and raising up TV’s!
