The Open Book

There on the table was an open book. As the people were walking around the room no one noticed what was sticking up from the middle. There was this one brave person that decided to go up to the desk and peek. At that moment a slight breeze fluttered the loose sheet to the floor. The person picked it up, looked at it, and read silently. The person couldn't believe what they read. "Please do not touch the book!" It is very fragile, and one cannot touch without gloves. Yes, this is story of a visit to a book museum.

    Antique books have to be treated carefully, with kid gloves. They are a true treasure. I love the smell of old books.
