Not sure if anyone would be interested in these, but I have a lot of Heritage Press books available for sale. These books are much cheaper than something like Easton Press and are very high quality hardcovers with slipcovers and beautiful illustrations. Personally, I think they’re super underrated and undervalued. DM me or comment if interested in any! #heritagepress #heritagepressbooks #antiquarianbooks #antiquarianbookshop #antiquarianbookseller #antiquarianbooksforsale #collectiblebooks #books #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #booksforsale #books4sale #booksale #bookseller #bookshop #bookshopsofinstagram #classicbooks #classicliterature #literature #fictionbooks #classicbookstagram #classicbookshop #canterburytales #vintagebooks #vintagebooksforsale #vintagebookstagram #vintagebooksale #vintagebookstore #vintagebookshop #marktwain

A beautifully ethereal 1957 Heritage Press Edition of Lucretius' great didactic poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things). In six books compounded of solid reasoning, brilliant imagination, and noble poetry, he expounds the scientific theories of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, with the aim of dispelling fear of the gods and fear of death and so enabling man to attain peace of mind and happiness. . . . . . . #antiquarianbooks #antiquarianbookshop #onthenatureofthings #dererumnatura #dererumnaturalucretius #tituslucretiuscarus #tituslucretiuscarusdererumnatura #heritagepressbooks #vintagemagicbookclub #vintagebookparade #antiquarianbookstore #vintagebookstore #oldbookstore #rarebookshelf #rarebookstore #oldbookrevival #oldbooksmell

So one of the things that have been taking my time lately is that I've been photographing many many (many many) rare books for a new venture my brother and I are sharing. Of course I have been spotting any and all ratties in these books as well 😂🐁🐀💛 This is one example of cute ratties I found within the pages of these books. This photo is from a Heritage Press book that was published in 1966. This will be my only post on this account about this new hobby and venture but I wanted to share in case anyone else here loves books and rare collectables. You're welcome to pop over and see what we'll be getting up to. The account is @rare_collections_cape_town. We will launch a website soon too. For those not interested in books I hope you still find the ratties adorable 💛💛

*Sold* A set of vintage Charles Dickens classics from Heritage Press. Found at an estate sale in the Pacific Palisades a couple weeks ago. Original slipcases and Sandglass pamphlets.

We got a donation of lovely Heritage Press books at the Minneapolis store. Most retain their (collectible) "Sandglass" pamphlets and their slipcases. (The Mpls store at 2939 12th Ave S is open Saturdays, 11-4, and Monday—Friday, 11–5.)

If you are a person who tends not to read classics, I'd say Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White would be a good one to attempt. It's very readable. The entire story is told from various eye witness accounts, so each perspective keeps you guessing as to what is really happening. It has a little bit of mystery, an interesting villain, a bit of love, escapes from an insane asylum, hidden identities...!! ° ° Here's Goodreads' summary: 'In one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought to a stop... There, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth, stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white' The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter becomes embroiled in the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons, and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism." ° ° I'll be sure to read more of Wilkie Collins. Which should be next?? °° °° °° °° °° °° #wilkiecollins #thewomaninwhite #victorianliterature #englishliterature #victorian #beautifulbooks #heritagepressbooks #heritagepress #bibliopals #readthisbook #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #bookish #bibliophile #bookstagram #booknerd #bookworm #bookphotography #igreads #booksofig #bookaholic #readercommunity #goodreads #hostablooms
Facebook Marketplace for the win! I was able to snag these Heritage Press classics for only $4 each!🎉 The seller had a couple boxes full, but these 5 stood out for various reasons... 》The Woman in White had high reviews by several friends on Goodreads (@pixie.hallows @dickens.and.docks @ourhomeschoolproject). I'm currently reading it with an IRL friend for #theunreadshelfproject2020. 》Mill on the Floss was a read earlier this year with #2020classicsclub. 》Barchester Towers is my next Trollope read. #thursdayswithTrollope 》The last two are because I've been wanting to read more Russian. @bear.hare gave The Brothers 5⭐ and @whatelizabethreads said that Resurrection was her favorite Tolstoy, so those were sure buys too! Excited to find a great deal on these classics! Also grateful for bookstagram folks that encourage me to broaden my reading. Thanks, ladies! 》What was your last great find thanks to a bookstagram friend? ° ° ° ° #thriftythursday #heritagepressbooks #hertiagepress #vintagebooks #collectiblebooks #classics #beautifulbooks #throwbackthursdayoldbookedition #classicbooks #prettybooks #oldbookspines #bibliopals #readersofinstagram #igreads #bookaholic #oldbooks #barchestortowers #anthonytrollope #thewomaninwhite #wilkiecollins #themillonthefloss #georgeeliot #resurrection #leotolstoy #thebrotherskaramazov #fyodordostoevsky
