I have three shelves of these books that were given to my grandfather as school prizes. They are all dated 1906-7 and are bound in leather. Such beautiful books, but a little heavy going....!!!
They make awesome photo props! I'd take my shot stacking them on top of each lying down and then twisting them round like a spiral shape... So many ways really to shoot these amazing books.
And they look in such lovely condition too. They look like they have been treasured. Love the light on them, gives them a nice golden glow, like they're magic, but then, aren't all books magic? Whisking us off to far away places for wonderful adventures. Fav 😊
@joysabin They are in very good condition - I suppose because they probably have never been read! I do get them out to feel the pages and smell their 'oldness'!
An ignoble thought crosses my mind that they also must be rather valuable.
That I couldn't say - it could possibly detract or perhaps the opposite!
