#bookplates Another one I just fell in love with!

#bookplates another great one made me buy the book ! Well , the book was in nice shape with a dust jacket too!

#Bookplates Sometimes if I am shopping a book sale and I have a kinda maybe in my hands a great bookplate will push me to buy it!

#bookplates one I saw in a bookstore , didn‘t end up buying it , but admired this one.

#bookplates Haven‘t posted one of these in awhile. When I was reading things from the 1920s I was obsessed with finding this book, pre internet days . Wilson was primarily a critic , went to school with F.Scott Fitzgerald , his marriage to Mary McCarthy was tumultuous & detailed in several works. Not considered a great novel , more of interest because characters are based on people he hung with in Greenwich Village.Even kept hand written receipt!

Vintage books = #bookplates
