Ahh---thank you so much for that piece of info. My husband long ago set up shelves on all wall spaces in our open attic, books are now double, triple stacked. But we'll find a way somehow to rescue unloved books.
And while I have you on the phone :) I am trying to locate a children's book from probably 1880's, a collection of stories. It had a pale blue cover (by the time I read it, ~1959) and the story I remember involved a boy who found himself in a real candyland--where the streams flowed with lemonade, candy on the bushes. My daughter was recently trying to tell that tale to her 5 year old but knew no more than that (she probably made up a story to flesh out the memory). I went on-line hunting last year to no effect. Any ideas?
