I have to be so honest and vulnerable with you for a second. I keep thinking of getting another complete works of Shakespeare
#tales from diana
#my riverside 1973 is still my beloved baby but she's really worse for the wear these days
#i didn't start thinking about it till i got one for my friend like 6 months ago for his bday
#and i kept looking at it and being like oh wow. his doesn't have all the scratches and rips mine does
#mine is still BETTER obviously bc it's MINE. it's in worse condition objectively but it's MINE
#making it the best copy in existence. to me
#and it was my aunt's textbook at boston college. my grandmother let me have it. i think of it as a family heirloom
#and the coating on the front cover side of the spine has been slowly tearing off :(
#like there's one long vulnerable rip almost all the way down. idk how to prevent it from breaking further
#other than just by not using it. and idk how to fix it wo making it potentially worse
#i didn't know how to take care of old gigantic books when i got it at 19. i never considered it
#i hadn't had one before. but now im more experienced
#and im also just curious about what's inside other editions. especially newer ones
#i only have 6 plays and at least 3 of them i plan to read in a copy other than the riverside
#like my 23 plays and sonnets (1953) edited by t. m. parrot has 2 and another play im gonna borrow from library lending
#and id definitely wanna get rid of a lottttt of books i have right now before getting a new one
#im already planning on which books to donate when i declutter
#and i need to declutter my books DESPERATELY. so so desperately
#it'd just be nice to have another complete works in my collection. for a number of reasons.
#that way i also suppose ill have two big books of shakespeare for auntie diana to pass down someday
#i don't plan on getting one soon im just in the contemplative phase. but boy am i tempted
