Bookworm Fix of the Day


For all you bookworms out there like me.

Making Yesterday Available Today



This seller makes available books on CD and DVD-ROM. I have purchased for myself a CD on the history of dreams and the study thereof. I got the CD-ROM earlier this week, and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality. These are books dating back decades if not centuries, and it makes me very happy that someone took the time to keep these books alive. They sell many subjects including paranormal, language, psychology, philosophy, and religion. Definitely worth checking out!!

Don't miss this, either: 50 Reasons You Should Be a Bookworm. Short and sweet and complete with book covers.
