Exquisite

Everyone seemed to enjoy the pictures from yesterday's post, so I thought you all might enjoy another round.

Bought these books today, I'm really at a loss for adjectives.

Big, leather, engravings... everything you want in an impressive tome.

To the pics:











 






As you can imagine, these books are pricey.
For now, I'm leaving them on my desk... just so I can smell them.

  3. Those are gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. The binding is just as beautiful as the images inside. Nice find.

    I loved your comment about having the books on your desk to smell them. I love the smell of old books...well and new ones too.

  4. Yup! You used the right adjective there. I can feel the gold leaf embossing on the covers! I'm sure the smell is one of 'old and weighty'.
