    They look to be some old books well used

      Working in a library is the best place to work, I think.

      Some of these, like Johnny Texas, are books I read when I was little.

      Yes, I just happened upon this collection a few summers ago when I was out in West Texas.

    I could spend hours looking at old books. Come to think of it, I could spend hours looking through any books!

    Old books can be favorites...I have two old books that were published in 1921, and were gifted to my mother by her favorite aunt. I did some repairs on them when I worked in a library. They have pride of place on my Baker's Rack.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I love looking at old books at second hand shops and flea markets. I have a few that I have saved from my childhood. My grandmother was a librarian.

    The Johnny Texas book looks familiar to me too. It must have been a delight to come across this collection. What treasures!

    I love it that all the books have a Texas/Cowboy theme. Fun.
