Mostly ones with the leather covers. I love them. I have found about three really old ones now. My husband had to glue the cover back together when I brought it home. It just fell off. I love the patina of the old books. Some of them sure can get expensive. I have been lucky so far and have not had to pay too much. You have some beauties in your collection.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071006614955267706.post-57117550229860453582010-03-29T20:00:41.969-05:002010-03-29T20:00:41.969-05:00Oh great books!

Some of my favorites are ones that were in my and my husband's families. But my absolute favorite is one that was my mom's in grade school~~a little grammer book covered with a cute calico oilcloth--will keep it forever!!
