Progress

Found a very nice copy of Pilgrim's Progress for only a dollar. Nicely illustrated, too!

Four Plus More

It was a good day for thrift shopping. I went with my sister. Unlike THGGM, she isn't constantly saying, "I need to lay down!"

When I bought my copy of "The History of Philosophy" I saw this book too, but didn't realize they had the same author. So, when I went back today it was still there. And, well.., you know what THAT means! I HAD to buy it. Now I'll have the fun of hunting down the other volumes.
Songbooks are necessities at my house. This one is wonderful. I spent about 30 minutes tonight playing through my favorites. And how COULD I go wrong? It's the 'all-year-long' songbook!

Normally I do not buy books with witches pictured on the cover. But I made an exception for "The Blue Fairy Book".

And would you look at this? The picture isn't very good, as the book is almost a navy blue.., but it's a VERY nice copy of "The Birds' Christmas Carol"! And it was only a dollar! I nearly fell over.

It has an inscription dated 1927.

LOVE it.

Not pictured are two other books I found, one is a "Touch and Feel" book of trucks and also a Sandra Boynton book that I didn't have.

Ohhh. I Like This!

I was happy to find this nice copy of Emily's Quest.

And, it's green!

I do LOVE a green book.

And L. M. Montgomery?

Ohhh. I DO like this!

The cover is very nice too. Just that bit of damage that appears in the lower left corner.

I remember reading somewhere that L. M. Montgomery once said that the "Emily" series was the most autobiographical of all her books. I really enjoyed the series.

Maybe I should read it again.

Me Neither

I found a great old book of poems for children.

This one is a favorite of mine.

So many times I am told that old books aren't worth much.

That just should not be.
