If I were to have found these books, I would gladly pick them up as well. But not if they're priced too high.

It looks wonderful, but the best part is simply the books themselves. Many date back to the mid 19th century.

They work great in decor decorating too.

I am especially grateful to have a nice collection of my grandfather's old books, many of them old textbooks (lots of German and Math books) as he was at one time a one-room school teacher.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Tammy at Tammy Loves Disheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382927672547593783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850014921092515341.post-51708326823002360932012-02-23T16:05:32.575-08:002012-02-23T16:05:32.575-08:00Such a wonderful collection!

I think that is so cool!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the cost on some! I had an 1800s book of Emerson's essays on hold at a used bookstore about 20 years ago. I was really trying to save the money for it...but car maintenance is so expensive for a 20-something, I ended up having to let it go. So sad!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your treasures!Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850014921092515341.post-36652594831298200042012-02-23T06:38:51.839-08:002012-02-23T06:38:51.839-08:00All of those are great vintage finds.

I am now on the local Library Trustee Board - I think our little library is the best thing going in our country town. I have very old books just like yours - they definitely are treasures!
