Worn Books

Maureen can tell you how shocked she was to see the pristine condition I keep my books. Most have been read and reread for years and still could pass as new. I’m disgusted if I give a book any sort of crease on the spine. Including mass-market paperbacks.

John Walkenbach (a staple on my reading list since he started his blog over a year ago) has moved domains for his blog. He also went from posting his entries manually to using pMachine (blogging software).

What do these two things have to do with each other? John also happens to write books about Microsoft Excel. I own several of them. They are all well worn, creased and decidedly not-new. And I consider that a Good Thing™.

In case someone is looking for my dad (William M. Simoni) instead of me (William R. Simoni), send them here.
