Has anyone read this? I found it in the cabinet at work, and since it doesn‘t have our stamp in it we have no idea where it came from...and that cabinet hasn‘t been gone through or added to in at least 5 years (so sadly the owner is not returning for it) my boss said I could have it if I wanted.

Look what I found in the storage area of our basement! I loved all of the Beatrix Potter stories as a girl, especially Peter Rabbit, but I know these are not the books my mother read from! These #hardcovers came from my grandparents‘ home. They don‘t have a publication date and bear little resemblance to the single thick book of stories Mom had.

This came to mind for both #LostBooks & #RareBooks. I credit this as one of the school textbooks that reignited my love for poetry. I had tracked down a copy after high school, but I lost it in a house fire. It took over 15 years to find another copy! Half the book has notes pencilled in, but that just adds to the charm. #OldCoolBooks

#OldCoolBooks #day11 #LostBooks This book was one of my obsessions as a young reader. It‘s a lost book because my copy was lost & I could never find a replacement. It‘s also about a lost book as well as a secret room. I was in a noisy family in a small house, finding a secret room that I could hide in and just read was my deepest wish. Samantha has her own secret room but finds out her greatgran had another hidden on her families property.

I think of cool old books signed by a giver as 'lost books' when I find/rescue them. They raise so many questions...who was May & did she like Indonesian Cookery?...was it a happy birthday or was she mad she got a cookbook?...was the cookbook given to her in 1963 when it published?...who got the NYTimes Cookbook?...who were Marie & Jon?...was the recipient mad they gave her her a 1961 published cookbook in 1970? Hmm...🤔

MAY 11 PROMPT: Lost Books

This 1957 Edition of the Hundred and One Dalmatians had been hidden from me as a child because my mother could not trust me to keep from coloring the illustrations (yes, that‘s my handiwork above) #lostbook. Although this is considered a first edition, the story appeared in serial form in Woman‘s Day Magazine as “The Great Dog Robbery” in 1956 & 1957.

I always thought of Sandition as an unfinished novel, not a lost one, but this Smithsonian article lists it as one of the great books “lost to time”. It makes it all feel so mysterious. #lostbooks #oldcoolbooks

#lostbooks The original manuscript for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is lost and supposedly has some major differences in the storyline.
