There are many lots bundled into small collections like this available in my store as I am significantly downsizing my collection from the past 30 years and will be listing numerous LOTS of Antique and vintage children's books. They are a passion for me but as of now, i have too much overstock, duplicates, and many books not worth the time to sell individually. Covid has made my little business suffer greatly and i hope that i will still be adding favorites to my store, just not in the volume as per the past several years. They are delicate and will be packed with cardboard stents. ------------------------------------------- - I try to take at least 3 good photos to help you make an informed decision so that you are confident with your purchase!

MY MISSION: I work very hard as a stay at home mother of two but I don't sell vintage children's books just for the profit, I do it because I love and cherish them. We live in a generation that has lost respect for books and the love of reading them with all of the high tech gadgets around today. My goal is to teach my children the importance and history of books and hopefully respect them as I do one day. Too many sellers out there want perfect collectors items and will discard books for minor cosmetic flaws and damage. This is more than disappointing to me and I make it a point to repurpose and mend damage to recirculate classic and beloved books back into the world because they are in affect becoming ever so scarce. Beloved children's books that people lived in their yesteryear are vanishing and my mission is to bring your favorite pastime stories back to you. Perfection should not be a do or die mission just because there is a tear one inch long on a page. The integrity of these stories are TIMELESS, if it can be fixed, it will survive countless additional years and hopefully inspire a new generation of storybook lovers! Thank you for helping me attain this goal! If you have questions or are looking for a particular title please message me privately for I have a massive stock of diverse children's books not listed for sale and would be happy to help you find what you are looking for!
