<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TT Antique, post: 9731327, member: 2653&quot;]Another trend is to look out for vintage books with dusk jackets with unique art and also for vintage books with artistic cover bindings. The books themselves may not be valuable as such on the book market. The goal is to have them framed as wall art to enhance internal decorations with vintage look. For instance art deco era dust jackets and cover bindings framed and hung as wall art etc. Even paperback fiction books like Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh etc ( that may not be first editions) are being collected for their vintage cover art and cover picture . Hopefully such endeavours will not tear apart the covers for the sake of framing them and instead would somehow frame the books intact, showcasing their vintage covers...</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing the msn article also mentioned is about specialising. To specialise or not specialise that has been the age long question...I think for people with ample financial resources specialising could be reasonable as they could select and pick what they want from anywhere. But for the average Joe that combs the flea markets, thrift stores and second hand book shops, that might be a luxury as he could not afford to leave behind potentially good books (eg. first editions) lying around just because they don&#039;t fall in his chosen speciality. The pros and cons of this question are numerous though, and it is a topic of unresolved debate not only in books searches but also in the art and antique area as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>TTA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
