Two of my favorite books. They are lovely. I have 3 different copies of Wuthering Heights because I love it so much. Where were you so lucky to find these?
What timing!!! Just yesterday my boss (who knows I collect, love, freak out over vintage books) gave me a 1904 printing of Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Fantasy & Extravaganza (an extra bonus fun is the publishing company: Funk & Wagnalls Company - don't you love that?) and a 1914 printing of Pollyana Grows Up by Eleanor Porter! They are beautiful additions to my collection! I started reading Poe today....
Those are beautiful! The only thing "vintage" I have is an English book from the early 20th century. My mom and dad bought it for me because I teach English. It's amazing how what's in that book is what we still teach in English! Wish I had a book like yours but there really isn't any for me :(
Those are gorgeous! I love vintage books and the art within them. It's so much fun scouring thrift stores and used bookstores and library booksales looking for them. I have yet to find anything as gorgeous as those, though. Nice job, JuJu :D
I love the Wuthering Heights cover. I was just at the bookstore and saw the new cover for it - very much like Twilight - but actually, I like this one better!
I like the vintage look but the women on the Jane Eyre cover look kind of creepy. So are these books "girls only" or would a "manly yet in touch with his feelings and feminine side" kind of guy appreciate these classics too?
Gregory: Definitely! Definitely read Wuthering Heights. I can't vouch for Jane Eyre (I still need to read it) but Wuthering Heights is amazing and I think appealing to men as well.
Ok, so I'm wayyyy late, but I just saw this post...and for that past 5 minutes, I've been trying to come up with something to say, but I'm utterly speechless!!
I am in awe *sighhhh* They are AMAZING!
Question, how do they smell? Do they smell all old and musty...I love that! I think old books are one of life's greatest treasures *sniffle*

ReplyDeleteWow, that's awesome! They look to be in great condition too.
ReplyDeleteI went to Barnes and Nobel today found lots of books I would like!

ReplyDeleteI would love to know where you scored these as well. They're stunning.
ReplyDeleteMe? Just a few first editions. Nothing old like this.
Lovely find Juju!! I scored as well and now I'm too poor to eat (hehehe). Went to the Borders closing sale and I went bankcrupt!
ReplyDeleteThey are exquisite, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, good score! :)
ReplyDeleteAIV & Heather: I scored these at a little vintage book store in Louisville, KY (I'm here visiting my in laws)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you AIV. I can't seem to own too many copies of Wuthering Heights.
Southern Princess: 1904? That's awesome! Wow :)
Wow! Those are awesome!! Great find!
ReplyDeleteI have never read either of those books, but just the cover art, all creepy and gothic would make me want to buy them just to have on my shelves. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! Inking = love. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are just gorgeous. I don't have anything cool like vintage copies or first editions.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these are AMAZING! I love them.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm jealous! They're both lovely...and at 3 dollars they're definitely a steal.
ReplyDeleteAwesome find, Juju!
ReplyDeleteThe best score I ever had was years ago at a used book store - - I managed to pick up a first edition library bound hardcover of "Rebecca" for $2.
So beautiful! Great finds, Juju - I'm envious. :)
ReplyDeleteGregory: Definitely! Definitely read Wuthering Heights. I can't vouch for Jane Eyre (I still need to read it) but Wuthering Heights is amazing and I think appealing to men as well.
ReplyDeleteLori: Rebecca for $2? SAWEEET!
I haven't read either book but they are on my list! $3 for vintage!? That's AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I'm so jealous! They look positively lovely. :-) Congrats, Juju!
ReplyDelete*burns with jealousy, runs for fire extinguisher*
ReplyDeleteLOL NotNessie you never seize to make me smile :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, they look lovely! I'd have to say that the cover of Wuthering Heights is quite something.
ReplyDeleteYou scored with these! Awesome!
