I forgot I had this awesome #vintageedition up for sale on Etsy, but I just sold it! I love this old book and hope whoever purchased it loves it too!

Does anyone else find themselves collecting the classics? I've always believed they're classics for a reason, and I love adding to my collection!

booksavvyreviews I collect old books. They smell and look amazing. 7y
jandralee @booksavvysissy Agreed! I have a couple of first editions, and they're so wonderful. 7y
MrBook @BookBabe and I have a small but growing #vintageedition collection 👍🏻👍🏻. F & Z is one of my favorites! 7y
jandralee @MrBook Mine too! A friend recommended to when I was living abroad, and I loved it. I think I spent more time in the school's library devouring classics during grad school than I did working on my MA (which is in history, not literature.) 7y

MrBook Looove #vintageedition posts! My look bookshop that sold old copies closed 😩. 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I liked the film. 7y
Cinfhen I agree ~ it's priceless 7y
TheKidUpstairs @MrBook that's too bad! There's a shop near me that will occasionally have one, or one of the vintage penguin paperbacks. I try to grab whatever I see. 7y

Posting a few mug rugs today! Randomly throughout the day... and week

Bklover Just checked- not there yet? 7y
Tiffanyelain @Bklover there were a few this morning. Going to list a few more in a few hours. :) 7y
MrBook Is this a #vintageedition?! (edited) 7y
Tiffanyelain @MrBook it is! It's in rough shape though. My baby ate the corner off 7y
MrBook Aww, lol. 7y

One of the first things I look for in a #VintageEdition is an inscription. Many never fail to disappoint. Most people's handwriting was so similar back then. I always try to imagine who the two people are, and I think about how the book has traveled across vast time and place to stop in my hands before continuing its meandering journey. 😊 #LitsyLovesLibraries

Sace Love this! 8y
Bklover You can almost picture Betty Ruth's Christmas morning! I do the same thing- it's especially nice when the book belonged to a long gone family member. 8y
Gina I am not the only one! It is like holding a piece of history in your hands. A snapshot of a life you never knew existed. 8y

Brooke_H But why is "Daddy" in quotes? ? 8y
drokka I have to say, I thought Xmas was a more modern term. 8y
MrBook @Sace 😁👍🏻! @Bklover It is 😊. @Gina Definitely not the only one 😉. @Brooke_H Good question. Maybe history repeats itself with grammatical errors too 😆? @drokka I remember watching old Looney Tunes & Disney cartoons that use the term. 🤗 8y
teebe @Brooke_H @mrbook In the 1930s, Daddy was slang for boyfriend (usually a rich one) - like "sugar daddy" ? 8y

This was on the #VintageEdition table, and considering it's from the 1800s, I'd say it's vintage 😉👍🏻. Students back then learned a great deal of material quickly--heck, I didn't learn half this stuff in high school! #LitsyLovesLibraries

RealBooks4ever That's a treasure I'd love to own! 😍 8y
Sace I'm with @RealBooks4ever... I would love to have that. 😍 8y

#VintageEdition. One more for the day. Another donation for the library book sale. 1930s. A novelization of the movie. Now this is cool. Lots of pictures from the movie too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Reviewsbylola The pictures are a great addition! 8y
CrowCAH So cool! 😍 8y
Jess_Read_This Love it! 💕 8y
vkmartin I recently fell in love with the musical based off this book, it is adorable. Also interesting, since there are only two performers in it. 8y

#VintageEdition. Yep, another one 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! This one is frickin' sweet. I want to buy this one when it goes on sale. 1912! The most recent president at the time was Taft! Geez. Love to see their perspective on things then.

CrowCAH Wow! Love the coloring on the aged pages! 😍 8y
