Hi, it's hard to find active book blogger group boards, so I created one on my Pinterest account u/sixbookshop. The board is called Book Bloggers & Writers I Group Board, and I will do follow-for-follow.
I thought I would break down where to find rare/collectable books. I see a lot of people asking where to look for them. Here is a list of 6 places to find rare books
I also wrote a more detailed blog post on where I find rare books.
The photo is of a 1890 Edgar Allan Poe I bought from a local bookshop for £5.
Prince & Princesses. Andrew Lang / Mrs Lang. Illustrated by Henry Ford.
Longman’s Green, 1908 First Edition
Ok, not rare but in excellent condition. Found at a house call, my friend wanted to downsize, so I took a few boxes of books. No idea why they had this or why it's in such good condition. It's the best condition I could find online.
I also wrote a blog post about finding rare books
I'm new to book collecting, so I'm starting with some affordable books such as New Naturalist, Shown to Children, ' Flowers', ' Gardens ', and Wayside & Woodland Books. I paid less than £20 for all of them and wrote a blog post here - Natural History Books Collectors Guide
(Unsure if breaking rules, as it's relevant to book collecting; feel free to remove if so) amy
