I collect old books too – I love their patina and always wonder who read them! Pinned!

I'm not someone who regularly purchases books, so the books I do have look rather ridiculous on a shelf (especially with my style) vintage books add that perfect layer of depth and fit right in. 🙂

Just heart wrenching.

The next best thing too reading one is seeing them artfully arranged, so thank you. (Popped over from Instagram)

I spent many wonderful hours in places like Seattle and Salt Lake City browsing for replacements. My favorite is a copy of the Count of Monte Cristo, covered with a faded red cloth cover, gold lettering and aging pages. The one book I salvaged was an already aged copy of Le Mort D'Artur given to me by my 11th grade English teacher, green cloth cover with water spotted and wrinkled pages, but forty years of love. Keep looking. I wish my apartment had space for a large collection. Ah, those were the days. I don't look because I have no where to keep them.

If you like small books, try to find some vintage Hungarian books – usually covered in red or green and very small in size – about 4 inches.
