AbeBooks visits the bookshelf of an Avid Reader

One of my favorite books that i bought for the cover and the age was the baronets bride(1868), super great shape and lovely cover. Also the prospecting book, is that from the Klondike gold rush?

Thanks for the comments! Glad to know you enjoyed the video.

Bobsgals, I realized my omission after the fact - the book in question is indeed an edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

You didn't mention the name of the book with the 12 colour plates, which you intend someday to have restored. Is it Alice in Wonderland or through the looking glass? The plate you showed seemed to show this. Thanks.

Thanks for this; I'm a geezer now but I recall boring visits to the homes of elderly relatives and family friends that took a great turn when I found something to read. The books of the narrowest interest that have such worn covers recall a time when books were really appreciated and shared. Wish I had back some of the loaners that never came home. Love to find yard sale books that are perfect for friends.
