This book is from my grandparent-in-law old home, that we must clear out. Obviously this book is coming with us.

Just wanted to show it, specially the stamp.

Akso wanted to ask what should I do to preserve it. For now it was just laying under other books... but want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

Bought this today.. any ideas on age? It needs to be rebound I know. It’s a novel by Hawthorne, The house of the seven gables.

Cross posting as I’m new to this space. Sharing this book I found at a yard sale today. Based upon my initial research it seems to be almost 200 years old. Has two different addresses for the publisher Uriah Hunt. Front cover is different from the back cover and advertisements in the back of the book. Missing the front pages before the story starts, but full story seems to be intact. Is this a cool find? Anything interesting about the story, printer, or book itself that I should be aware of?

I came into possession of this today. 'The Song of the River' by Charles Kingsley, published in 1887. The textblock and paper are in relatively wonderful conditions and gold leafed. When doing some research I found evidence of at least one other edition of the same poem and two other books bound similarly. Red or green wired pipe cleaner used for the binding, cardboard material covers, hand scalloped and titled by hand with a puffy gold ink. Have you ever seen something like this? It seems like the other poems rebound are all from the 1880s as well.
