Vanity Fair | William Thackeray

I touched one of these beautiful books today. Found in a local antique shop. The leather was exquisite. The page edges were marbled and fabulous. Printed in 1883 or 1889, I'm sorry I can't remember exactly. It was a 22 volume set. Sadly they were a tad out of my price range at $750. They were truly stunning though. I have not read the tagged book but it's on my tbr list. #vintagebooks

My grandmothers collection of Nancy Drew makes me happy. Confession: I‘ve never read a Nancy Drew mystery, too bad she doesn‘t have number 1, because I can‘t start a series on anything but! 📚 #vintagebooks #nancydrew

Talk about VINTAGE! At the request of Leah, here‘s an EIGHTY year old library bound copy of Tryst. It‘s filthy, spotty, torn, and has a Dole Banana sticker on p. 53. Out of print for eons. Stamps in the back go back to 1972.

'Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.' - Lauren Willig

I‘m starting to run out of room of places to keep my books in my small apartment so there are piles on windowsills and floors lol.

I got these at the Friends of the library sale last weekend. They had a whole table full of vintage books and I grabbed these ones. I wanted so much more but had to resist.

A few years ago, I bought a set of totally awesome vintage OZ books, but aside from the ones I read in childhood, I am yet to read them! I‘m challenging myself to it in 2019 - and I‘m coloring in the 💛yellow💛 brick road as I go! 😆 #itsthelittlethingsyall #bujo2019 #bujolife #bookbujo #librarianlife #wizardofoz #oz #vintagebooks #bookbujo #bulletjournal #bujo #readingchallenge #bookchallenge

The #Russia prompt from #augustisatrip made me immediately think of this book, which I‘ve had since I was a kid. I took the pic on my fur coat, which is all Mrs. Harris wanted from Moscow!! #mrsharris #vintagebooks @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
