What a fabulous haul Phil. I think the artwork and illustrations of old children's books stand out to any book lover as astonishing compared to what you get in todays books.
The quality of the color is so great, they're vibrant. When I look through them I always find myself smiling likea goof 😁 - glad you appreciate it all and thanks for the comment!
A really great haul! I collect antique illustrated books and ephemera. I have several of those same titles, but in worse condition, including a really scary Water Babies from the 1880s😉 the clip art books bring back memories. I used those types of books when I first started out as a graphic designer in the late 70s. I would make a copy, and resize the art, using a stat camera. In the 80s I worked for a lot of different clip art companies to help pay the bills.
That's so cool! Glad you liked the video, wish I would have shown some more of the clip art for you! Yeah all things considering the conditions are better than most. Thanks for watching and commenting Susan, glad you enjoyed the finds!
Thanks Wesley! She'll be happy to hear that! She's been doing an amazing job, I'm going to mention her in a future video, understandably she's not interested being on camera but thank you for the comment! Some point I'll have her help me film the actual picks that I'm allowed to, people may enjoy watching that process.
Phillip, ran into your parents at a birthday / retirement party today. You are so blessed to have two wonderful parents. One of these days I'll get up to Smithville and check out your two bookstores. Awesome doing something you love that's the best life you can ever have. Guy Fernandez
A different dialectic was developed due to coming from different tribes & areas where various languages were spoken & there obviously was no formal education in the English language.
Glad you enjoyed the finds! It was a lot of fun, at the end of these picks my eyes are so dang fatigued but this one was worth it! Thanks for the comment, you're welcome in my shop anytime 😊
Neat finds !
