so anyway, while i go through the thousand photos i took, here is a collection i've been working on this year. junior deluxe editions!
i've found most of these at the goodwill outlet. they cost about 25 cents. They are from the 1950's and i love them.
they aren't worth very much. they usually sell for 5 or 6 dollars each but that isn't why i like them. i love the covers and the end papers and they are always beautifully illustrated. after i took these pictures i realized i have one more that i've had on my bookshelf for a long time. there are over 90 titles and i would love to find them all! they look really great on a bookshelf. i really want to find the alice in wonderland titles.
we've got a great collection of vintage children's books that I can't wait to display in our guest room if we ever get around to setting it up. or if we have a kid some day they will be pretty lukcy! at least, if they like vintage.
Lovely collection! I love the way you photo'd them in the first photo. Bonza. they must smell great!

ReplyDeleteI have an original collection of these that my mother gave me for birthdays and Christmas whilst I was growing up in Washing in the 1950's. I kept the for my children and they will now go to my grandson. It is wonderful to see that people still love them! Great photo...... Katie
