New old books

The uni near our home holds a huge second-hand book fair every year in April, so Annette and I braved the rain to check it out yesterday. Not much luck in the Crafts and Knitting section unfortunately, but found lots of books for Annette in the childrens section, mostly for 50 cents each.

I just love the look of these old cloth-bound books.

Particularly the kittens on the cover.

And inside the Mother Goose book there’s these lovely illustrations that I just couldn’t pass up.

We’re having a long weekend here (yay!), I hope you all have a good one!

That’s a bargain for those books – they are precious as the books now don’t last!

Oh I love the Faber Story Book. I also loved all the ‘colour’ books- The Yellow Fairy Tale Book and The Violet one too. I remember reading them from our Library, but not much else about them!! What wonderful bargains!!
