This week's challenge is:
"STILL LIFE" (Food, Flowers, Rocks, Shells, Vases, Books, Jewelry,...)
Linked To: Thursday challenge
Set of twenty four volumes of Encyclopaedia Britannica is our prized possession. Bought in Canada in 1963 when my hubby was doing his Doctorate in the University of Alberta, he shipped it to India after completing his studies. He came back as he wanted to serve his country. Later after our marriage the one thing, which impressed me most was this set of scholarly elegance. It was early 70s and both of us would sit and read enteries of common interest. We've moved home four times so far and these volumes had kept us company. These have become an integral part of our lives. We treat them as heirlooms.

In this age of instant information, their utility might have diminished but for comprehensive information about a topic at one place, nothing can beat them.
This apart they're a solid link with the past,when these were of immense value to the researchers in any field.
Friends,welcome here as always!
