Books I recieved today

An elderly lady, one of my friends, found out I collected books, she gave these to me today.

 

Along with a vintage piece of paper!

 

I'll add the rest later.

 

She must think alot of you. Books from her childhood, I take it?

 

books sorted out from libraries are in most cases no big value.
condition of most mediocre to lousy.
on the continent they'd go to the recycling bin.
only one that has a certain charm for me - little folks of other lands - due the colorful art decoish illustrations.

 

Nice additions to your collection! I have collected some older books, too, just for fun. I have no intention of selling or making any profit. Most are worth about nothing. I just like them.

Do you ever read these older books?

 

Yes, and some books she used to teach when she was in school.

I try to, some are hard to read due to the difference in grammar.

I do have a questions, the last book, The Blue Bird, has 2 listings on Ebay, they are selling for quite a bit, why is that?

 

That is the amount those sellers are asking. It doesn't mean that anybody is willing to pay that price.

I found one similar to yours that sold for US $19.99 on 2 February 2020
