anteek.

Anyone know an antique book store/dealer in the KC area that would be interested in buying a Companion Classics 1932 1st Edition Leatherbound book of Robert Browning poetry?

The heavy stock is starting to wiggle away from the leather. Outside and in looks decent otherwise and smells like old book and is yellow like old book. The pages are absolutely wonderful.

I bought it when I went through my Paracelsus phase a few years ago and have kept it hidden in a box in a closet with a bunch of keepsakes in between the times I take it out to read it.

I'd much rather it go to a local bookstore than to someone on eBay.

And if all else fails, Mrs. Walker, my high school English teacher will suddenly find it in her mailbox. I want it to be appreciated. It's just absolutely lovely.

I LOVE old books. I bought a 1952 book by Tom Hudson that I found at a garage sale just because it was signed by him to someone. I'm weird.
