dictionaries

I collect old dictionaries. Books from pre-spell-check days.

I especially am drawn to old tattered, well used copies with the thumb indents along the edge or fancy colored page edges, and also old illustrated children's editions. There is something about the soothing colors in the old illustrations. My buying rule is that it can't cost more than 50 cents!! Some of my favorites are throw-aways from people who love computers more than books.

What do you collect from pre-computer days?

Here are a few photos I took in the past that you may be able to use for something. If you like, you may take them.

Please play nice and do not sell as is.

Amazing what you can accomplish during a marathon session of The Waltons DVD watching with a box of buttons and fun vintage images at your side!!! (I still want to swing on their tire swing and sit at their table and eat apple pie!) I may create while watching Family Affair or The Partridge family next. I'll let you know.

Take a peek at the button listings!!

This vintage photo reminds me of the story told in the movie

The Bridges of Madison County. It is dated on the back 1934 Newark Ohio.
