i love books: part one

In my last post I mentioned some gems I found at the thrift store in Kings Beach.
I love books. Love them.
I have a minor obsession with Dr. Seuss and large coffee table art books.
But, I especially love vintage books filled with character and handwritten notes from years before I was even born.

So when I found these National Geographic United States and World Atlas Encyclopedia combos, (wow, say that five times fast...) I freaked. Fuh-reeked.
They were only $5.00 for both...win!
 They have the cutest covers and retro-pop illustrations.

I love that you can tell how old it is by the fact that East and West Germany are separate. 
[They were published in the late seventies]

My two homes :)

Do any of you also collect things? What are your "must have" gems?
