I bet the smell of the old books is fantastic. I had one book that was from 1911, but nothing as old as 1880.

Mondrak, one of my favorite smells is that of a library. I love the smell of the leather, the bindings, the glue, the ink. All of it!

Great photo, I love the faded colors of old books and you’ve captured them nicely. I, too, have a fair collection of old tomes, Tom Brown School Days being my prize. I think I might have to borrow this idea!

Love this shot. As a professor of French language and literature, I’m particularly interested to see the Grammar book. 🙂
