I forgot to post again yesterday! 🤦♀️
I don‘t have many books from my family, but this one is from my grandma. She realized that I grin like a fool when she slips her old books into my birthday presents. ♥️ #monograph #oldcoolbooks

Catch up from yesterday. I don't know if a cookbook can be considered a monograph but since this 1945 one is "...devoted entirely to dishes which the author believes taste better when herbs are used." I'm going to go for it. ?The "Fashion Is Spinach" book that it is compared to on the cover blurb is a classic autobiographical critique and expose of the fashion industry that sounds pretty cool too.
This is the edition of Jane Eyre that I grew up on—I blame it for my lifelong but unfulfilled desire for a window seat. 😊 Jane is perusing Bewick's History of British Birds, which I have never read, but I think qualifies as a #monograph. #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost #oldcoolbooks
A #monograph is a detailed study of a single specialized subject or an aspect of it. The above book is a 1967 monograph of my grandfather‘s second-favorite subject (after my grandmother of course 😊), and beneath is a picture of him racing his vintage 1926 Bugatti Type 35.

Here are two illustrations (blue jay & Canada warbler) from Birds of America by John James Audubon. This is the 1947 edition passed down from my Grandpa to my father to me. Although if my brother asks it's still our father's book 🕊
