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

Some 1880s fairy tales to pass the time waiting for people to show at my Rare Books LA Virtual Book Fair booth. I am not showing these copies there because, frankly, I haven’t gotten around to writing them up yet. #ilovethe1880s #istillbelievein398point2 #fairytales #giltspines #victorianbindings #shelfporn #hanschristianandersen #oldschoolcool #rarebooks #shelfie #bookporn https://www.instagram.com/p/CGX5VWSBaqF/?igshid=1u5kj0e99dcgu
