Love them! I have oodles of old books. Some classics for reading, others for decoration (usually colour co-ordinating) and lots for altered art. I love their smell and the character they have! Just today I picked a couple up from a local thrift store: an old illustrated dictionary, a book of poetry and an old hymnal in a gothic style font that's gorgeous! I can wait to find uses for them.
The first pic looks like those lovely book boxes on Wisteria! I want some so badly!!! http://www.wisteria.com/searchprods.asp?searchstring=book%20boxes
Me too. I love to shop old stores to find worn and tattered books. Great post.
