My #UsedBook find for today: “Stop the War” by Allen James. Copyright 1970.
A book of quotes against the concept of war, published during the Vietnam War. Interspersed are pages with photographs by Anthony Goldschmidt of grave markers from Arlington National Cemetary.

I really, really love it when decorative elements from the page edges and the endbands meet. It can be a subtle thing but it's just lovely when you notice it. I went simple on the endbands for this book because there is a LOT going on everywhere else!
Number One: More is better.

They did a Folio edition of the first Wayfarers novel?! Way outside my price range, but if any Becky Chambers fans out there have a collecting budget...

Explore the far future with the first illustrated edition of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. The groundbreaking debut novel of Hugo Award-winning author Becky Chambers, one of the most imaginative voices in contemporary science fiction, is a truly galactic limited edition.
Spent some time FINALLY using the clear sleeves on dust jackets of some books I've been picking up over the years.
While jacketing my F. Paul Wilson books (first editions of both "The Keep" and "Black Wind"), I was astonished to discover that "Black Wind" was autographed!

A Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford.

If you look carefully, you will see that the bottom half is an open book, with an illustration on the left and text on the right. The top half are two different pieces. Using various manipulations, I blended common elements, that give it a bit more unity.
The book is an interesting curiosity, that somehow ended up in my collection from previous generations. It is a Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford ~ early Jehovah Witness proselytizing.
Beautifully bound with an #EmbossedCover, and colour #BookPlate #Illustrations. I’ve been tempted to use it for altered book art, but for now, just scans for collage work.
I have no idea if this book has any collector's value - it is an odd set of criteria: 1928, #Russian, #ReligiousTract, #JFRutherford #JehovahWitness $$$
