One of the ladies on here from France said that their government charges a LUXURY tax on BOOKS!!!! Unbelievable! In my opinion having any kind of books in your home is a necessity not a luxury. If it's a luxury I live in one of the most luxurious homes in America because we have tons of books--art, craft, sewing, quilting, music, antique, novels, the entire collection of Boxcar Children books, Goosebumps, kids books, RC plane books, a huge if a little eclectic collection.
