Day 7: Used Books (International Frugal Fun Day) - My entire #OZ collection once belonged to a boy named Stanley Rickard, who would often receive these books as presents from relatives. He wrote his name in every one. #bookishwackyholidays #octoberbookchallenge #vintageoz #usedbooks #oldbooks #antiquebooks #wizardofoz #emeraldcity

Day25: Title That Starts with "T" - Tik Tok of #OZ is a book that really isn't about Tik Tok at all! However, he does get saved after being thrown down a well by the bad ol' Nome King (who I love BTW!) #septinbooks17 #vintagebooks #oldbooks #vintagecovers #vintageoz #antiquebooks #wizardofoz #fairytale #fantasyland #bookstagram #series

Day 22: Sea of Books - A sea of #OZ with the first & last book of the canon credited to L. Frank Baum (although, in fact, Ruth Plumy Thompson wrote "Royal.") I'm a proud owner of the "Famous Forty," the forty original OZ books published by Reilly & Lee from 1900-1963. ? #septinbooks17 #wizardofoz #vintage #vintagebooks #vintageoz #vintagecovers #oldbooks #antiquebooks #lfrankbaum #ozites #theresnoplacelikeoz #seaofbooks #bookphotography

My old book collection is a treasure I've been working on since I was 15. Nearly two decades later, I've gathered some beautiful books. These two are among my favourites. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. These editions are just incredible. They are from the 1940s a feature stunning illustrated covers. #oldbookaddict #bookstagram #antiquebooks #janeeyre #wutheringheights #beautifulbookcovers #bookish #classiclit #bronte #vintagebooks #bibliophile

Sunday seemed like a good day to post a #shelfie. This is my #antiquebooks shelf. While most of them are from the first half of the 20th Century, two of them were published in the 1890s. The Poe Complete Works is the one that got me started collecting antique books. When I was fifteen, a family friend found it in a recycling bin and knew that it was meant for me. Even though it's still tiny, I love my antique book collection so much!

I have this ancient book from 1895 that has some exquisite #decklededges! #feistyfeb #antiquebooks
