“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”
This witty quote by Erasmus says what every true reader has thought at least once — books first, everything else second. Presented in a classic typewriter font and available in black or white background, this print is the perfect literary accent for any book-filled home.
Who It's For & Why You'll Love It
Ideal for book lovers, writers, librarians, teachers, or anyone with a growing TBR pile and a sense of humor. Whether gifted to a reading-obsessed friend or styled in your own home library, it’s a smart, charming tribute to the reader's priorities. Clean, minimal, and meaningful — a print that speaks your (book) language.
