My Books

My first leather bound book, Castle Dangerous by Sir Walter Scott, sparked an insatiable craving for supple leather and finely aged paper. I've been on the hunt ever since, scouring whole cities for any sign of the elusive things, often dissapointed. On some rare occasions, however, I've been extremely lucky. Below are two of my favourites.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam -1916


The Book of Rubies - 1866
Both of these books were $20. The second one, "The Book of Rubies" isn't in the greatest condition, as you can see on the spine here, but the front more than makes up for it.
