Quote card: When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”

Attributed to Erasmus. A popular version of a line in one of his letters asking for money to buy Greek books.

Second-hand bookshops and charity shops sell good books for very little. Worth a look.
