A Brief History on Deckle Edged/Rough Cut books.
Back in the days when books were made with handmade paper, deckled edges were regarded as an imperfection in the paper and bookmaking process, and all edges were cut cleanly.

I'm curious now, which do you prefer?
Deckled edges/a rough cut?
Or clean cut?
Anonymous asked: O.O What is "deckled edge"? Sounds fancy.
Today was a good day.
I found a Visa gift card in my wallet and spent the entire thing on a bunch of books.
I may or may not have gotten The Complete Novels (Penguin Classic Deluxe Edition) of Jane Austen.
1,278 pages.

Anonymous asked: What have you done with your summer thus far?
Anonymous asked: What were your final grades, Monica Jean? I bet you got all A's!
I've missed you all so very much!
These last months of school have been insane. You know how it can be with the end of the year, finishing up classes and taking finals and all that jazz. I hope you all did well!
