North and South: Easyread Edition | Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

Book sorting rescues - a Folio edition of the tagged Gaskell and Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters from 1875. Not that I'm super interested in Italian Painters, but it's such a lovely little thing.
#folio

IndoorDame Such great finds! 4mo

jlhammar Gorgeous! I‘m hoping to read at least one Gaskell in 2023. I own three (Cranford, Wives & Daughters and North & South) and haven‘t tried any yet. 4mo

Aimeesue @IndoorDame I am extremely fortunate to live in a pretty affluent, well read area where a lot of the older citizens are downsizing. We get a lot of great donations. We also get a lot of garbage - today there were SEVEN books about vitamins. Who needs that many vitamin reference books?? 😂 4mo

Aimeesue @jlhammar I've only read Cranford and North & South. Cranord was more fun! 4mo

LeahBergen I have this Folio edition, too. Nice score! 4mo

Aimeesue @LeahBergen They're so lovely! At this point, I have too many for my shelves, so I only bring home the ones I capture in the wild. Happily, the Folios are abundant around here. 😁 4mo

LeahBergen I‘m the same. I don‘t buy them new! (edited) 4mo

Every Man for Himself | Beryl Bainbridge

pick

I bought this #folio for myself months ago during the sale because, Titanic. I knew I needed something well written to get me out of my reading funk and the writing in this ended up being exquisite, with beautiful illustrations that were also done by the author. #foliofreaks

LeahBergen I‘ve always meant to read this one. Lovely edition! 3y

Aimeesue Thanks! The lighting was odd, so it kinda looks b&w on one half and color on the other. Just a weird fluke, but cool looking, I thought. 3y

The Complete Nonsense and Other Verse | Edward Lear

My $6 #folio edition, plus some tomatoes. And some feathers I found yesterday on our walk. I have NO idea what the birds in my neighborhood have been up to. #SimplyFoxed had a great, sad article about Lear in a recent issue.
#foliofreaks

Aimeesue The tomatoes and feathers were already on the table. I'm just lazy. I had to pick as many tomatoes as possible today, because this morning I caught a squirrel out in a tomato pot and when I went out onto the deck, I found a whole pile of tomatoes - all with one bite out of them. Somebody thinks she's Ramona Quimby. (edited) 4y
