A Women of Substance, is over 700 pages long!!! I'm about 150 pages into it so far and its actually pretty good. It's a classic story about a young girl born into the poor lower class that works hard and becomes a successful business women. The story has history, drama, mystery and sort of plays out like a soap opera.
I originally was attracted to the book because of its age. If you turn to the inside cover you can see the old library stamps dating back to 1984. I know that's not too old, but it dates the book back to people reading it for over 25 years. It also has that old library book smell that I love, and the spine of the book has been broken down so much that it practically opens itself and lays flat.
Isn't the book neat?
If you look closely you can see check out dates in 1984!
