This is a great example of when an amazing vintage book isn’t rare because of its age. It’s always fun to run into books like this one, that even if they aren’t rare they are still fun to handle.

Some books you pick up and just hold for a while.

First edition. Sherlock Holmes. The original Sidney Paget illustrations inside. Fun typo on the last page.

We haven't bought it yet. Probably won't this time. But handling it reminded us exactly why we got into this.

Midnight Reader is growing and the books we're chasing are getting better.

This vintage paperback from 1958 tells us so much! Often times the binding and art of a book can reveal information that’s easy to overlook.

This is just one example of information we like share about vintage books and book collecting!

We are about a third of the way through a recent collection we got in, and hope to see some more odd ones.

A 100 year old copy of Peter Pan and Wendy!

Illustrations from the 1926 edition of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Wendy, retold by May Byron with pictures from Mabel Lucie Attwell.

Interestingly this copy has been rebound with the pages being cut to fit the size of its new boards. I was surprised to find this edition hidden inside these modern boards, with the pages decently intact!

Did you know there’s a hidden language hidden inside Stephen King books?
