The Vintage Reader

I get most of my books these days from PaperbackSwap. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember the last book I bought new, but I'm sure I was disappointed in paying so much for it.

But there are some books I really don't want to get through PBS. The first one I came across today was a potty-training book for boys. Our pediatrician back in Buffalo recommended MONTHS ago that Vintage Toddler start "reading" about potty training, but since I find the subject rather distasteful, I sort of put it off. However, now I'm finding the idea of potty training less distasteful than changing diapers, so I'm looking into it. BUT. When the time comes for me to buy a book on the subject for Vintage Toddler to look through, I will go buy a brand-new one that has not been handled by a potty-training toddler, thank you very much.

The other one, which was posted just shortly before that one, was called Make Your Own Sex Toys: 50 Quick and Easy Do-it-yourself Projects. While the title is catchy, do you really want a used copy? I mean, it's possible that it was kept on a shelf in somebody's garage workshop, next to the hammers and saws and wood glue, but it's also possible that it wasn't. Hmm.
