I came across this article today ... "Old Books A New Source of Lead Poisoning"... I love what the author has to say. I cherish our collection of old books and so does Coleman, some of our favorites are from my childhood and we even have a few from my Mother's early years. I agree with what the author of this article has to say... don't throw them out... read them!
Well they are only bad if you eat them!! LOL!! I totally agree, I have lots of old books from when I was a kid. Heck my kids even slept in my kids and thankfully they never got their heads stuck in between the bars! My mom always jokes that my sister and I should be dead with all the "safety" stuff we have for kids these days that they didn't have when we were little!
ReplyDeleteWow, who knew? I have all kinds of old books for my son from my childhood. He doesn't eat them though, so I think it's ok.
