Wonderful Old Book -Around 1859 -The Gift of Affection: A Christmas and New Year's Present

Image
I found this wonderful old book -it has a leather cover and is inscribed inside, presented to Virginia E. Stonesiffer by her husband F.H. Stonesiffer Dec 25/59.  It seems this book has been printed  since the 1830's, or before,  with stories and poems by different authors,  to be given to your loved one.  Sometimes Edgar Allan Poe is included (not in this book).  It also includes several engravings.  It would make a wonderful Christmas present for the book collector. Find this book here .

Shakspeare Comedies 1889

Image
I found this wonderful old book at an estate sale.  Yes, Shakspeare is spelled that way in and on the book.  It was printed in 1889 and has some beautiful engravings inside.  I have listed it in my etsy shop -but, because I can only use five pictures there, I have posted extra pictures here for anyone interested.
