Warm, earthy, and quietly compelling — seven antique and vintage hardcovers in beige and red tones that look like they were always meant to share a shelf. This is the kind of curated set where the palette draws you in and the contents keep you there.
The literary range is genuinely eclectic: Golden Age science fiction with C. M. Kornbluth's Takeoff (1952); a rare 1920s boys' adventure with Dick Kent with the Malemute Mail (1927); Revolutionary War history with The Story of Lafayette by Hazel Wilson (1952); Mark Twain's Complete Humorous Sketches and Tales (1961) — always a shelf anchor; the Hawaii-set Uncle George of Kilauea (1961); a respected scholarly biography of Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt by Frederick A. Sweet (1966); and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Elmer Rice's novel Imperial City (1937). Nearly four decades of American publishing in one warm, cohesive group. All seven are in vintage condition with wear and discoloration on most volumes — honest wear that only adds to their collective character. Dimensions vary per book. Ships from Altadena, CA.
