Such a wonderful post ... and yes, I have some of those books ... none before 1880 but still wonderful and filled with memorabilia, even an original Marshall Saunders "Beautiful Joe" the dog parallel to "Black Beauty." given to American school children in 1884 by the SPCA to prevent cruelty to animals.

Love this! I gravitate to old books for just this reason. If you have any Shakespeare or Jane Austen in that pile, I'd love them!
