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?

been actively resisting fascism since 2015. I get your disappointment in the USA, I feel it too. open to sincere suggestions and meaningful critique.

wts "do nothing" feels a bit hyperbolic. bear in mind that however angry you are the US, I guarantee many of us here are quite. a. bit. angrier.

A favorite book sold, this am did the condition check (we doublecheck that condition matches our description.) Indeed it does, so a new home awaits...

My Saturday night and I couldn't be happier.

"Wheel of the Infinite" and "Death of the Necromancer" are my all-time faves but I do love this series too.

#Caturday round 2

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...

Whew. Almost missed our first Caturday here on Bluesky.

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.

This one isn't for sale, so I'm not even going to attempt describing condition (even if it were great, I don't think it's terribly collectible...)

My childhood copy :) It's been read a lot, as you can see. By my parents, then me, then my kids.
