a look it's in a book

As you know a few weeks ago our dear friends the Carter's came and visited us. Martha and I went antiquing for a few hours, and she showed me these great books. I have been wanting to decorate with some old books, and luckily I had her extra set of eyes to show these to me. They are old Reader's Digest books. I made a huge purchase of 5 books ranging from 1930's-1980's for... $5! Seriously. They look great on tables or shelves. This is just what a couple of them look like. (You get the idea.)
