That's wonderful to know. I'll have to check that out. I really didn't think there was any recourse. <BR/><BR/>So next time I face this sort of thing, I'll hopefully be better armed.ThriftShopRomantichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-42621662070965865462008-06-17T07:33:00.000-07:002008-06-17T07:33:00.000-07:00I'm just reading this now, but wanted to say that Undu (a scrapbooking tool) will take those stickers off without damaging the paper. I'm not sure how it works - it's like a safe version of GooGone. Definitely worth having around. <BR/><BR/>Susan GSusan Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-4822505360702050892008-05-21T03:17:00.000-07:002008-05-21T03:17:00.000-07:00SSB- So hopefully you'll be opening boxes in your new home someday soon and come across it!<BR/><BR/>Chyna- I'll have to look it up, the thing with the tags. I don't think this would have come off with freezing. It was well on there. But ya never know.<BR/><BR/>Jillian- Yep, of all the book surface to put those stickers on, WHY on the paper picture on EACH of them? Just not smart.<BR/><BR/>Saffron- Thanks, and thanks for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>Angie- oh, that's really cute, you and Pam being your mother's swans...

Too late now but can't you put something like that into the freezer and the sticker will just pop off? You'd have to put the book into a Ziploc bag to protect it from the moisture. I may be confusing that with something else though.chynanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-18240802828514239872008-05-15T10:07:00.000-07:002008-05-15T10:07:00.000-07:00I think I own a copy of one of those books.

The "Scented Cottage" sounds so pleasant, I will have to go pop by! And yes, thrifts are great for books, though book looking always TAKES me FOREVER... I just can't cruise through there the way I can the housewares. :)<BR/><BR/>Chyna, thanks! That's a nice thought, putting decorative books in your home from the time of your home. <BR/><BR/>Kelleigh- thanks for the tip, will have to check it out!<BR/><BR/>Amy- yes, there are some really nice editions of classics like Peter Pan out there. They tend to be a little more expensive (name value I guess) but really nice in a library.ThriftShopRomantichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-12181615835593514852008-05-15T00:19:00.000-07:002008-05-15T00:19:00.000-07:00Those kind of old books are the best though, I seem to remember having one called Peter Pan that was similar...Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17076349937962262361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-78978773186502091252008-05-14T19:55:00.000-07:002008-05-14T19:55:00.000-07:00Pure magic! What beautifully illustrated books. <BR/><BR/>I like to collect vintage books too. My favorite is a compilation of vintage magazines called "Girl's Own Annual" -it's a peek into the lives of women during the 1920's & 30's. <BR/><BR/>crazyhaberdasher.blogspot has a great post about it with pictures if anyone wants to take a peek (see her post for Sunday, Jan 13, 2008)<BR/>~KelleighKelleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12213310707886579746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-47612435409846402842008-05-14T13:58:00.000-07:002008-05-14T13:58:00.000-07:00What wonderful books. I'm always trying to find stuff that wuold have come out around the time my house was built and those sure would have been a hit in my parade. I also have a thing for fairy tales.

Thanks for the well wishes for the yard sale-- I'm pretty excited about it. Here's hoping the weather holds out.<BR/><BR/>Rhet- That's pretty cool your family had the same books. Your mom being a librarian, I can see where she would have been drawn to them. It's such a nice collection of stories.<BR/><BR/>Debbie- thanks so much for the wishes of freedom from construction. I think it's going to be a long, long summer, construction-wise.<BR/><BR/>Pam- many thanks. You just need to come here to the States for some thrifting! :)ThriftShopRomantichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-14075745300282468732008-05-14T08:29:00.000-07:002008-05-14T08:29:00.000-07:00Lovely old books...I love them...and the hobnail glass...Well done!

Now I'm wondering if they are still in my parents' house somewhere. The basement had some bad flooding last year, so now I'm a little worried. But if that set is gone, you bet I'll be looking for replacements someday.rethorykehttp://rethoryke.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-87419189699771932132008-05-14T06:04:00.000-07:002008-05-14T06:04:00.000-07:00It looks like a terrific week of finds to me, Jenn - those books are gorgeous, and the milk glass and the bottle are also wonderful!Lidianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13719859575624565776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-14945982645555133562008-05-14T05:58:00.000-07:002008-05-14T05:58:00.000-07:00Wonderful books!
