Insecure?  Why?  Only a few more and you are at 100!  And plus, you have a bunch of the early bindings.  And at least one of every regular binding.  And most importantly a copy of Pickwick Papers and a copy of Tess.

Hesitate?  Why?  You now have Bill, me, and probably countless others reading Wells along with you.

I am surprised how really good most of these books are.

Bill: Thanks for sending along the Wells blurb.
