I love my civil war library. I have 3 bookshelves with 5 shelves each. It's not Gallager's but it is my investment of my lifetime of reading cw literature. I enjoy reading in the same room with them. They give me pleasure just being in their presence. I like to sometimes just sit and contemplate them. I'll stare at them and think about what I was doing when I read an individual text or novel. I love my "picture" books, too. I have several "feet" of them. I like to sometimes take one down and peruse it leisurely.
I like to buy civil war books. I believe that you can't have too many books that you have not read on your bookshelves. So, obviously, I have not read all of them. I like to go to Half Price books and see what I can find there. Sometimes I can find a gem. Quite often I've been able to obtain a series book(s). They are a lot cheaper that way! I have several tomes that I've invested quite a bit of money.
In fact, right now I'm waiting on a book order. It's a long story. I hope to receive a reference series that I ordered on the Tennessee Veterans from Amazon. We'll see. It's supposed to come on October 3-10. I ordered it in July and have had trouble with the order. The order is for $230 US but now costs $1180 US to order. I don't think I'll get it. Or it will be incomplete (the series if 5 books...I bet I only get one of them). Something to look forward to, anyway.
