It is the vague impression of a book. I recall sitting in a chair, turning the pages of a books and loving it. Then I seem to recall wanting the book again, and looking about for it vaguely, but not finding it and wondering where it was. Years later, I told this to my mother in an effort to place the memory and she said, "I remember the book. You were two years old at the time and you loved it." I said, "But where did it go? I remember turning the pages and then I couldn't find it." "Sure," she said, "because every page you turned you tore out.". Seller Inventory # 000291
