I'm always a little sad to see a book without its dust jacket. So when I open an unassuming hardback and find lovely front pieces like this I'm reminded to never judge a book by its cover. The Book is called Beloved Bondage by Elizabeth Yates. I couldn't find it on Litsy so I used a different one by her.😘 #bookstagram #vintagebooks #moon #neverjudgeabookbyitscover #peteandfreddys #elizabethyates
