In my time, books are pretty much all electronic. You can find an actual hard copy in antique shops but it's not that easy. Despite the fact that there is a huge collection available in the Enterprise library, there's nothing I love more than an actual book in my hands, the way they feel, the way they smell, I can't describe it.
When I graduated from nursing school, my parents gave me a first edition copy of Florence Nightingale's Notes On Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not. My mother wrote an inscription inside and it means the world to me. I never thought I'd see it again but yesterdday morning, it turned up in front of my bedroom door.
Thank you to whoever is responsible for this, I am so happy to have it with me.
