#CoolOldBook

Here‘s a very #CoolOldBook for you. A very large, brick-like unabridged dictionary. I found this at the recycling center of all places and at the time thought I‘d use it to try one of those paper folding book projects, but so far I haven‘t quite brought myself to do that to it yet. I keeping thinking it originally must have lived on a huge podium table at the front of a Library somewhere in its past life, maybe🤷‍♀️

AmyG I have found some amazing books at our recycling center in the past. That‘s beautiful! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AmyG I‘m glad I‘m not the only one that adopts great books from there! 👍 6y

CrowCAH Very pretty 😍 love it!!! 6y
Gezemice So beautiful! I would kerp it as a decoration. Maybe use it as a shelf or something. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Aimeesue and @GingerAntics This is the book I picked up at the recycling center, originally to try paper folding with. 6y
GingerAntics Oh yeah, no I definitely would not fold that. 6y
Aimeesue Nooooooo! Way too pretty to fold! Also, I‘d bet the pages are pretty thin, so you‘d be folding f o. r. e. v e r ..... 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice @AmyG @Aimeesue @GingerAntics This is why I love Litsy, you not only understand why I brought it home, but why I haven‘t folded it. My family is more like, ‘why on earth did you bring that home with you.‘ And as it sits there looking pretty, for months now, it‘s become more of, ‘I thought you were going to make something with that‘. 😂. Litsy gets me! 6y
GingerAntics This is like my book nerd family!!! 6y
zembla GORGEOUS. 6y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Wow! Lovely. 6y

Another #CoolOldBook for your photo collection @Linsy I picked this one up and brought it home, and I can‘t even read Latin, LOL. But this tiny volume with its fold out drawings, a few which are still intact, was just too special not to bring home and sit on a shelf despite it‘s age, written in status, etc. #NakedBooks

Linsy It‘s beautiful!! I love all of the pics. 😍 6y
Biljana 😍😍😍😍 I translated parts of these wars during my high school and at university. Ohhhhh 💗💗💗 6y
tonyahoswalt I would have brought this treasure home too! 6y
