With the craze surrounding the kindle this holiday season, and the hype around the tablet, I’m a little sad about the notion of future generations never having quite the same appreciation for dog marked pages, coffee spills and yellowed paper, and the beauty of an ever expanding bookshelf.  

The greatest nostalgia is for the start of summers as a school girl, accepting the local library reading challenge and dawdling around the old building on a scavenger hunt for books on the recommended reading list.  

This cardstock creation from Anthropologie is meant for saps like me.  The cover is a sweet reminder of the inside of library books.  And the lined pages, pockets and sporadic images of polaroids and postage stamps inside, invite you to store sentimental scribbles.
