I love a beat-up book
With edges all creased
More than a clean fresh one
Just released
Passages often underlined
Notes along the margin
Give me a beat-up book
Gotten as a bargain
Well-thumbed and faded
But pages all intact
A beat-up book is the best
And that’s a fact!

Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end.

Very well done!
Oddly enough, I was recently rummaging through old books, up in our attic, and had similar thoughts to yours; old reads are still the best reads.
