Playing with the light box again and liking how these 1890s Alices look. #aliceinwonderland #throughthelookingglass #downtherabbithole #ilovethe1890s #victorianbindings #henryaltemus #shelfie #lightbox #treatyourshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5E650BgyA/?igshid=1xed5eh4vdk5g

Nice timing: Stan the Postman came today to take away two 1895 copies of Poe’s Poems and drop off one 1895 copy of Poe’s Weird Tales (same publisher, even). Happy #Poetober, I guess! #edgarallanpoe #henryaltemus #ilovethe1890s #rarebooks #talesofmysteryandimagination #weirdtales #classichorror #vintagehorror #bookcollecting #treatyourshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiMNC-hQ6A/?igshid=10cgpvh3plxr6

Another 1895 “Poems of Edgar Allan Poe” with gilt floral cover has landed in inventory. Working on getting it listed but will also be $150 (same as the green one). Published by Henry Altemus of Philadelphia and featuring multiple black & white illustrations by various artists. #edgarallanpoe #henryaltemus #poetober #poetry #rarebooks #victorianbinding #floralcover #booknerd #bibliophile #shelfie #treatyourshelf #vintagebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CGFvzyyh9Vh/?igshid=6bj1y4i7jf8j

Super excited for this latest acquisition for the shop! Won’t probably arrive for a few weeks but couldn’t wait to share. “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, illustrated by John Tenniel (Hardcover, c1895-1902). Very rare cover indeed! #aliceinwonderland #lewiscarrol #henryaltemus #johntenniel #rarebooks #bookcollecting #newacquisition #treatyourshelf #shelfporn #rarecover #cheshirecat #downtherabbithole https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCmKl0hrzo/?igshid=cqh22kwxkit2
