You have the coolest looking books. May I smell them?
Oh, yes, by all means. But be careful, because they’ll go straight to your head.
Wow, more treasure!!!!! Your chest is full of them :)
Enjoy your sunday.
i feel like to paint this post.
Crissant! How are you? Yes, I’ve been lucky lately in the book department....
Caio, there’s still some room around the edges. Be my guest.
William sometimes I believe these books just wait for you to walk into a store and they know right away that they need to be adopted by you and to go home with you. These are beautiful as most vintage books are. They feel as comfortable as an old pair of shoes...but they smell much better :)
That they do. I found this batch yesterday with my son at the annual book sale at the public library. It was the second day of the sale, so it was quite a surprise to find them. But he was lucky too: a beautiful book of poetry published in 1867, for only six dollars.
