Disclaimer: Recently, I purchased a collection of books from a woman who had been in the interior design business for some time and had amassed a wealth of beautiful and hard-to-find books, dating from the early 1800's to today. In processing these books, I've realized many have pictures and whole pages of like-material taped into the book. Most have less than 10 of these pictures, others, have pictures and pages taped throughout; always with clear tape at the corners. The pictures and pages are from the likes of vintage Smithsonian magazines. These books are beautiful and I hope that you will enjoy them. I have taken ample photos of each book, which are located towards the bottom of the listing. Please contact me with any questions and happy bidding!
