We all know Phantom Of The Opera but have you heard about The Kiss That Killed? It’s about vampires, mass murder, love triangles, a serial killer! Topics we all know and love. Worn jacket but nothing too invasive to the art or spine, acceptable amount of wear but on the bright side it’s not price clipped. The book itself also has a story of adventures on its own.

Disclaimer the typed paper is laid in, it’s a book dealers catalog description from a book dealer previous to the one I purchased it from. I assume It’s still there to explain the inscription provenance details. So it feels natural to include it as a whole with the book and check. Harre has multiple titles of published Macaulay books, 5 that I know of he’s an author.

Been working through a big estate library and this one stopped me. Dryden converted to Catholicism and then wrote a 2,500-line poem defending it, where the Catholic Church is a milk-white hind and the Church of England is a spotted panther. A theological debate as a beast fable.

It caused a massive stir. Two young wits, Montague and Prior, wrote a parody called The Hind and the Panther Transvers'd that basically ended Dryden's reputation as a serious controversialist.

This is the Tonson first edition from 1709.

Recently acquired the second translated edition of Euclid’s Elements translated and annotated by Niccolò Tartaglia in Venice. Mixing my interests of the Renaissance and math. I love this book.

Decided to jump off the deep end and aquire a bible from 1837 the still contains the apocrapha.

So excited to dig into it once it shows up.

Enjoying these should eat up some of my free time.

I am super stoked about this find! I’m a nursing student so it’s extremely interesting to see all the medical inaccuracies by today’s standards. The brain diagram was particularly amusing to me lol

Joker in the Deck & Pattern for Panic by Richard S. Rather

They were stuck together, so not stored properly :(

Should I keep them or dispose of?

1940s book printed by us government leading up to the war, to help access trade persons skills and clarifications, as written exams weren't always an option. It was confidential so people couldn't prepare for the questions.

Found this one at a pre-loved bookstore during my last day in Istanbul before flying off to Ireland. (What a coincidence!) The previous reader left behind a dried flower.

Hidden gems in Vancouver bookstore! Loved the film and was thinking about reading it, low and behold! 127 year old copy in decent condition for a whopping $45. Also got Iliad of Homer from 1893 for $45

I just got a stack of Charles Dickens books from an antique store and was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what edition they are or any other information? They aren't all in great shape but as a book nerd I thought it was a cool find!

First Edition

Been struggling a bit researching this book and figuring out if its part of a series. Googling has led me to versions with same title and author but none with this cover. If anyone has any knowledge about this book, it would be amazing.

I discovered a long while ago we had this pre-world wars encyclopedia on japan and china sitting in our basement. For being in a basement its not in terrible shape and i figured it was time to see what other people think. We have volumes 1-12 with book #9 missing. Inside the first book i also discovered a long strip of perforated Japanese images of what i assume are historical figures.

Let me know what you think/ what i should look for. New to this subreddit so i hope this isnt the wrong place for this sort of thing

“History of New York City: From The Discovery To The Present Day” 20 engravings and 85 woodcuts, 1872 first edition bound in half* brown leather and marbled boards.

I was gifted these today in a box of old hymnals, a few very small - about 4 inches high x 3 wide - leather bound saddle stitched books.

I just collected these gorgeous short story compendiums for free, and i cant find any dates anywhere in the books. it seems like these are special editions made after the original publication (which seems to be 1904 based on what i can find online?). i know very little about this kind of thing, so any help would be appreciated!
