a jolly good read

I found this annual from 1956 in a great little charity shop near me. How old-school English is this??!!  Very boarding school.  I have this real fascination with old books and how the pages smell of dust.  I've always thought that the best present I could ever receive is a book.  I love reading them and the sight of the spine fills me with such satisfaction...

And I love these that I picked up at a local market with a zillion Penguin paperbacks...

Thanks for that Emily - I discovered that amazing site yesterday and am in love with it, although it is a little out of my price range!!
