My Old Books *

Australia

Photography is the most interesting of my hobbies, but this is one that few people know about. Collecting old books. These two are my favourites, both of them are over 100 years old. I love the old paper, the line drawings, the leather binding and the fascinating information printed between the covers.

Nice shot, Gayle! Very evocative. I've had "Ladies Guide" in the shop and thought it was fascinating. Books like this are among my favorites for my shop and for myself! Good work! ~Sharon

This one is great, Gayle. I can feel the texture of the cover beneath my fingers. And, what a book, it should constitute a great and instructive read nowadays

Cool hobby and great shot. I love books too! I don't have old ones but I always opt for hardcover books over paperbacks.
