$35 USDVictorian Book: The Birds in my Garden
Books
A late 1800's or early 1900's hardbound book from England, detailing various birds the author observed while enjoying the out of doors. The book has 190 pages and is filled with gorgeous engravings, some large, some small. It measures 7.25" x 5" and is in good condition for its age, having expected wear along the edges, some soiling on the first few pages (to #8, mostly the flyleafs and contents pages), and a split between pages 16 & 17 (see pic, the binding is still tight). The book was written ...

Books:Children's
An ex-library book from those fab 50's telling the story of Eddie and his beloved Parrot from Texas, Louella, who one day is switched with another Parrot at a charity ball. The book is hardbound with 192 pages and was written and illustrated by Carolyn Haywood. It measures 9" x 6.25" and is in the condition you'd expect of an old library book, with soiling, wear, library marks, and a bit of color on page 81 from an enthusiastic reader. Even so, the overall condition is pretty good given that it ...
$18 USD1940's Children's Book : Poco and the Parrot
Books:Children's
A sweet story of Poco the Burro and the Parrot that he wished to become. The book is hardbound with plastic spirals and features 40 pages of black & white and color illustrations. It was written by Laurene Chambers Chinn in 1947 and illustrated by Ethel Hays. The book shows its age via wear to the front and back covers, a broken spiral on the bottom of the spine, a dedication written on the flyleaf and a tape mark on two pages (see pics). It's still in fine shape for being over 60 years old and ...

$12 USD1952 Children's Book: The Kitten and the Parakeet
Books:Children's
Thankfully this tale doesn't end as some do involving Kittens and Parakeets, the finish is happy and the tale sweet. Also of interest is the way the book is illustrated, using real photos as well as drawn images. Neat! The book was written by Janet Konkle, sketched by Karl Murr and is hardbound with 28 pages. Measures 9 5/8" x 7.75" and is in pretty good condition for its age with some scuffing to the spine and edges and a tiny bit of loosening from the cover on the inside (see pic). Aside from ...
