It's slightly battered, but I could not resist this 1872 edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson. #Booksky #oldBooks

Four volumes, each representing two books of eight. The binding is a little chipped, but the books are in pretty good shape.

I love charity shops, although not as much as my wife does. They hint at a different way we could be living. They also offer the lucky-dip-chance of discovering a gem, like this 100-year old wonder we discovered today.

I found this 1908 Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis's Cook Book in my grandmother's attic, and I could spend hours looking through it.

And I love the recipes -- except they often don't provide oven temps or baking times. This sugar-cookie recipe simply ends with: “Bake quickly.” 😂
