Love old books!

Found these old books to add to my collection -- which needs to be thinned, BTW!!  I love old books.  They show the wear of their readers and are so pretty when using them to decorate.  Check these out!

These books have character and show good use over the years.  Love the worn look.

But in so many blog pics and on Pinterest, I see books with their spines turned to the back and the wonderful time-worn pages showing to the front.  It's a cool look, don't you think?
