I bought these for my wife last year at an antique auction. They are fully leather bound and have the little leather box that came with them. A complete set of 2 19th century books, she was thrilled with them. One is a prayer book and the other has old hymns in it. Very detailed and in great condition considering the age. Apparently given to a goddaughter from her godmother in 1896. 2 years later my Grandmother would be born. The leather is still very soft, obviously someone took very good care of these over the years.
Leather Bound BooksSome people collect antique leather-bound books for purely aesthetic reason…
