Thought I'd share some of the vintage/antique book finds from the last ~6 months. ​

Left to right, top to bottom:

In a glass darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu from 1948 — I had been looking for a vintage copy of Carmilla with no luck until I realised it had originally been published in a short stories collection. It's a blue clothbound under the paper slipcover.

Consult Me — undated but from at least 1904 going by the inscription inside. The entry on how to ride a bicycle is hilariously unhelpful.

Modern Cookery by Eliza Acton from 1851 — the spine is missing so will need to do a repair job, otherwise in really good condition for its age.

The Best Way Book 3 — undated but this was originally published sometime around WWI possibly 1915. I now have all three Edwardian volumes in my collection!

Dracula by Bram Stoker — undated but most probably from 40s or 50s as per some research. I had been looking for a 'pocket sized hardback' clothbound edition for a long while now. And this one was also within my budget (most antique/vintage editions of the book go for at least a couple hundred quids at the cheapest).

Now, the only book I am actively looking for is a 'pocket sized hardback' clothbound edition of
Frankenstein. It has the same issue as Dracula. It's gonna be a luck thing to find one. ​

El domingo me pasé por 'La Fea'. Este año la Feria de Edición Asturiana se ha celebrado en un escenario muy sugerente, el Museo del Ferrocarril de Gijón.

Había mucha variedad, pero este libro es el que a mí me conquistó: 'A la salud de los muertos', de Vinciane Despret. Conmigo se vino y conmigo compartirá tiempo.
