It's World Book Day and I'm going book buying! See you Saturday with a bunch of new book finds!

These two leather-bound beauties have aged very nicely. Some time ago they must have been separated from their siblings, since they were originally a part of the first Uniform Edition of 1930. If you happen upon the others please let me know!

Books often make remarkable and mysterious journeys. This one was a part of a donation that came into my shop in Brattleboro, Vermont today. The book itself is personally insignificant, yet I'm reasonably certain that I put that label on it myself while working as a book receiver in the Olsson's Books and Records warehouse in Rockville, Maryland in 1991.

The NEW ARRIVALS section is overflowing as hundreds of finds from my book-buying expedition hit the shelves! Lots of recently published titles that look like they were never read, most at half of the publisher's price!

First sign of spring is books outside on the patio!

I'm heading into the wild to gather more books! Lots of new finds will hit the shop when I get back. See you then!

"I loved you from the first moment I saw you." Sometimes fascinating pieces of lives are tucked away in books for future readers to find, like this love letter from Mrs. Viola Meynell Dallyn sent from London across the Atlantic to Mrs. Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, which I found folded into the pages of Mrs. Sedgwick's copy of Viola's memoir of her mother, Alice Meynell.
