Antique Book, Decorative Book, Legends and Lyrics, by Adelaide Anne Procter. Leather Book. Illustrated Book. Gift retailer Book.

With an introduction by Charles retailer Dicken and illustrations by a number of different artist, this heavy tome is packed with charm. I know I say this a lot but this would be an awesome gift. This beauty tells a story centuries long. From her repaired hinges  to the cloth tape holding the marbled endpaper in place there is so much to talk about and admire with this one.

Condition: Everything listed has been carefully chosen and is special and unique in their own way. Since I am drawn to the imperfections of a piece, you can be sure that all of the items listed have flaws that I believe add their charm and beauty. I understand that vintage and antique can mean different things to different people. At Picture Paper Page all of my treasures are what I consider vintage - most are antique even, ranging from the 1800's to the mid 20th century. The conditions will vary. Some of them may have marks, loose or torn pages. Missing and detached pages or covers. Stains, yellowing or foxing through out. Conditions that reflect the many years of love or lack there of.

For me all of this, in addition to the content come together to make my pieces "Fabulously Flawed " and perfect for my shop. All are suitable for both reading and decorating. Most make beautiful gifts. I would be happy to answer any questions, actually I welcome conversations about my books. I would also be happy to send additional pictures if requested, so don't hesitate to ask.
