So around six months ago I bought two Antique books, "Vision of Hell" & "Purgatory and Paradise" by Dante Alighieri, and Illustrated by Gustave Doré
So I finally got the book cases made to mount them, A Christmas Present from the father in law who made it. so I thought I would share with all you book lovers

er what?
TRUTH.
I like my books to be pretty, and would probably spend a bit extra on something like the ones at The Folio Society (and have done - bought Schindler's Ark (they don't have it anymore ) for my sister last year), but books are for READING.
Nope, but that's why I wouldn't buy one. If I did, it would be one that had an interesting cover and wasn't just blank
Sorry, not my cup of tea.
read? Hey I have a television!
but in all seriousness. Those are collector items and you should not handle them roughly. You can always read the copies. You can't just go into a museum take the Blue Mauritius out of the cabinet, stick it on your christmas cards and be like, "LOL, stamps are meant to be used on letters not display cases."
I am with OP on this.
Books are healthier. lol
O, eye sea. looks like anyway. I just like dark warm colours which is probably why I said it needed varnishing. lol me likes
I somehow dont think windows discs compare to valuable antique books.
But you said it needed polishing, not varnishing.
Correct but they are history like antique books.
I mean't varnish sorry.
Sorry. I do like your books, you know?
:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
don't really get why that would get one of those mate.
like, she meant varnishing and said sorry and that she likes your books, why not pick up on that?
get overrrrr it/yerself.
Something I did yesterday is history as well. Windows discs could easily be copied or procured if someone wanted them. Antique books not so much.

I could buy Windows 95 for £6
I collect Cicely Mary Barker's flower fairy books, mainly first editions which I've picked up in charity shops for naff all... I occasionally look at them but I just like having them...and I'm aware that now shoots my hard-ass image in the foot (not that it was working anyway)!
