The old man said "they're going in the bin".
She rescued them and took them home.

How lovely to have saved all those books and made them beautiful and useful once again. I love them! Julie x
I have done this and it is SO fun. There is something tingling and exciting about holding an old book; it's like opening a secret door in one of the Harry Potter or Narnia movies! You never know what will appear on the next page.
THANK YOU my friend for coming to visit. Let's make learning on any level a fun and memorable experience! Anita
I love this! I'm so glad you saved and enhanced those lovely old books.
Wow this is just awesome Jane, it's annoying how much good stuff, timeless stuff is just thrown out without particular thought, you've done an amazing job enhancing it as well!
Fantastic idea, so much better than them going into the bin xx
That is the most amazing idea and I may have to steal it and make one for little old moi. Hope you don't mind, am in love with these.
That's a lovely idea, hope to see some more...
Wonderful idea....
What a wonderful idea.

Lucky, Lucky books to be brought back to life again! They truly deserve it and they look splendid now!
