This dictionary is probably
the biggest book I have ever seen.
We found it at an antique store
on the way back from the beach.
5" thick
copyright 1958
beautiful vintage color illustrations
and black and white
I remember this :)
and maps
I love old books,
especially dictionaries.
Since the cover is already torn,
I don't mind ripping out the pages.
So, if you need any images for
your collage or art projects,
just send me an email.
I will be listing these dictionary pages
in my etsy paperie shop.
Have you found any good
old books lately?
Would love to see them.
Have a great weekend!

I haven't found any "new" old ones lately. I love that in a big old crazy way.
ReplyDeleteYou know - We had a dictionary about that size growing up. Still at my mom's house, too! It came in the mail, one section at a time, and you added it to the screws. I think it may have been connected to the World Book Encyclopedia that my parents bought for us kids in 1967 - but I can't be sure. Might have been another book of the month club publication that was popular in those years.
ReplyDeleteI love to collect old books and have a couple of great treasures. Need to post on them sometime . . .
Joy!

I love this post. The dictionary is a fantastic find. You are so lucky! i have not found any old books lately, but I have not been to any rare book stores lately, either. I have been too busy with back to school stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow that is one big book! What a great find.
