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.

Louise Looks great! I love reading about how other writers approach the art and craft of writing. 6y
GingerAntics @Louise so do I. It seems to have good reviews on here. I‘m just trying to see if anyone I‘m friends with has read it by chance. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I like thoughts for this sort of thing, just to know what to expect. If it‘s good or if it seems like the author is trying to say they have all the answers for everyone. 6y

Tale of Peter Rabbit | Beatrix Potter
post image

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.

Linsy What an incredible find! 🙌 These are some books I need to get to read to my little boy! I loved them as a kid as well. 6y
ReadZenRites I‘m so glad to have rescued them from the dusty basement! Somehow, being one of three daughters I‘ve been really lucky in the books passed down to me. 💕 (edited) 6y
PatriciaS Awesome 👍 I wish I had that collection for my students, wonderful books 📚 4y

A Book of Good Poems | C. T. (Charles Taylor) Fyfe
post image

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

Linsy Whoa, what a story! I love how faithful you were to your book love. 💗💗💗 (edited) 7y

#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.

LeahBergen Oh, it sounds good! 7y
Linsy Ooh, this looks great! 💙 6y

#OldCoolBooks #LostBooks

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...🤔

Lcsmcat I wonder things like that too. And I love finding books with notes like that in them. 7y
CoffeeNBooks I love finding books with "treasures," but then there are so many questions! 7y
Linsy I love this! I totally agree. The mysterious pieces of paper in old books are often my favorite part. 💖 7y

101 Dalmatians | Dodie Smith

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.

ReadZenRites Thank you @DebinHawaii It is was a favorite of mine, too... even after I was forced to switch to the Disney version with already-colored illustrations. 😬 7y
DebinHawaii For what it's worth I think you have great coloring talent! 😆👍 7y
ReadZenRites Thanks @DebinHawaii 😂 I was mightily provoked that I never got to color the lady‘s skirt. It‘s so half finished that way🙁 7y
Linsy This is so great! 💜 6y

Sanditon | Jane Austen
post image

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

Linsy @Tanner @AJBowers @SomedayAlmost It belongs to my sister-in-law! I am, understandably, quite jealous. 💜 7y
LeahBergen Some of the things I‘ve read about it say that it could have been her best, too. 😩 7y
readinginthedark Interesting! I definitely consider it unfinished. It gets to the point where she‘s introduced everyone to you, but a lot of conflict hasn‘t happened yet. I found it interesting to watch the modern vlog adaptation on YouTube from Pemberley Digital! 7y

#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.
#OldCoolBooks @Linsy

Linsy That‘s so cool! I think my dream job, if I were a character in a book, would be tracking down lost manuscripts. Of course, I would only do that after running from the CIA because I refused to do something morally objectionable. ... Book me is so cool. 7y
