I love vintage books and have a few that I use to decorate with. I have a few sets of really old encyclopedias that are beautifully done in pastels. They are already packed up for my move because I just love the look of them. I figure if it makes a person happy, they should do it. That includes spine in, display only, or whatever brings someone joy. I will admit to feeling a little pain when I see the books with the ripped off covers, and that is just because I love books so much. If they were just old paperbacks, it wouldn’t be so bad, but I see old hardcovers that have been altered like this. Yes, the rustic look is cool, but it still bothers me a bit.
I also have some crafting books, but other than that, I now read via my electronic reader. I used to hit up my library’s book store that sells donated books and come home with bags of them. I would read them and redonate them back again. They sold most for a dime to a quarter each. If anyone needs books by the foot, check out their library’s fundraising bookstore.
