Some 19th Century Reading

Dealing with Facebook problems most of the day, so I quickly put this together. The three volume history was published in 1858; How to mix drinks in 1862 (it even tells you how to grow the ingredients), the two Horatio Alger books from the 1880s

Interesting to be able to see the titles - makes for a nice still life.

I see why you might turn to the comfort of old books after what one can only imagine ... facebook problems???

I don't spend much time on fb, just to see what my family is up to. I post the odd picture now and then and that's about it.
what a great treasure you have with these old and well cared for books.

@hjbenson Thought that was it! I lived in Portland, OR for 3 years and was lucky enough to often visit those beautiful falls!
