A pretty book. Burt stopped publishing in 1937 so this dates before then - a nicely illustrated gift edition reprint of the classic novel, maybe 1920's?

Book/science fact Fridays! Reading can help you live longer. Studies have shown this as one of the few sedentary activities with benefits. (I suspect writing reduces life span lol)

Ever heard of "local color"?
Author Annie Trumbull Slosson (1838–1926) was an important figure in the local-color movement, admired for her gifted depiction of everyday New England life.

As a bookseller, it's emotionally wrenching when a book sells.
One of my favorites left us for a good home (which is a comfort.)
It looks like it's about
Dark Magic.
In a way, yes? Caltech lectures on Space from the 50s.
Fare thee well...

Might be taking a bookbinding / restoration course. It's been a long time since I attended that 1-day bookfair session :b
Practice book:
1955 Yearbook of Agriculture
I love the cover art, the paper is wowzers, and the preface is almost lyrical.
