This is probably the prettiest vintage book I have right now. Its hardbound in soft fawn colored leather. It has gold embossing on the front with the initials RC and the name Kelly Anthony. The original text was published in 1752, and this edition in 1925. This is a limited edition with only 1000 sets. Its about 6.5" x9.5" and about 400 pages if you include the introductory notes and preface. This copy is numbered 939. A very, very special book, and something that should be displayed.Please note: These are vintage, preworn and/or preloved items. I do my best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected.

Sweet copy of George Long's translation of The Discourses of Epictetus, Volume Two. Published in New York by Scott-Thaw. Copyright 1893 ( though clearly that's when this volume was actually printed. It appears to be more like sometime in the 1900s. No actual printing date for this edition is given). This book is marvelous due to the unusual way its pages are bound. The pages were printed several to one sheet of paper then folded into position. The top edge of the pages were not ever completely cut so many are still together at the top. Its really a fascinating view of an older way of printing books. The pages edges are also all deckled. And the paper is a fine linen. I adore this little book!Please note: These are vintage, preworn and/or preloved items. I do my best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected.

All Longfellow's best poems, collected in this one volume. Still has the dust jacket, and its held up fairly well, though as you can see it has some dings, and someone got part of it wet at some point. What you can't see that is kind of interesting is that someone wrote what seems to be a journal entry or essay or a copy of something else on the inside of the dust jacket in pencil.The book itself is in excellent vintage condition.

Update: I have five of these left. I have updated the titles available below.
This is wonderful collection set of the great French romances. This was originally a set of twenty books. I don't have all of them (only 16), so I don't mind breaking up the set. They were published in 1901 and 1902 by D. Appleton & Co, and edited by Edmund Gosse. In addition each volume includes a Introduction and Essay by a notable person of the era, for example Henry James, The Earl of Crewe, Booth Tarkington, and many more. These are lovely to look at also in sage green hardbound covers with fleur de lis and crowns on the spine. Inside is a pretty title page and a portrait of the author of each respective book.
Each book is about 8.25" x 5.75".
Each book is about 8.25" x 5.75".
The condition of the books vary though they are all in about the same general shape. There is some wear to the covers, though nothing that doesn't just come across as wonderful signs of age and love. Small dings or tears in the corners, some dark smudges etc...Most of the interiors are sound, perhaps some marks or waterspots on some pages. Nothing that makes any of them unreadable or enjoyable. If you would like specific info about a specific volume, please don't hesitate to contact me.
If you are interested in buying all of the books or at least several, please let me know before placing an order as I may be able to give you a better price.
