… especially old books!

I was glad and all too eager to take them home for some loving. Am I going to read them? You bet! Right now, we are reading the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin:
Some other wonderful titles include:
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Reading! What is on your summer reading list?
From Dr. Seuss' "I can read with my eyes shut"
Excellent find. Excellent photos. Excellent post!
Oooh — leather-bound books are such a wonderful treat. They feel so good to hold while you’re reading them!
The new translation of War and Peace is on my reading list for the summer.
Cool!
Wonderful treasures!
Oh, I have several of those wonderful leatherbound books! I have enjoyed both reading them and having them on display in the cabinet of the secretary desk in my living room.
I have gotten some wonderful old books at “Friends of the Library” sales. One in particular was “The Works of Charles Dickens” from 1888. Six volumns and I paid $10.00 for them. (Dickens is one of my favorite authors!) Later, while shopping in an antique store, I saw the same set selling for $300.00.
wow what a great find. I love Classics.
