I love decorating with old books. Right now I am really into the heavily embossed covers of late 1800's books. I want to get a ledge shelf to display my collection and let them become an art piece in their own way. I have been collecting heavily embossed books for years; I don't seek them out, they find me. I was selling some books the other day at Browsers Books to get a guidebook for hiking and one such book found me. T
he vintage children's books are located right next to the door and I could not resist a look (see right) and what I found was beautiful! After I have it up and displayed I will show you but for now here is a photo of a book still available there with some nice embossing.The book I choose was fifteen dollars but because I took in three old books to trade it only ended up costing me 50 cents what a deal!
