Over the years, I’ve always enjoyed collecting beautiful antique books. My first acquisition was a 1937 edition of Margaret Mitchells', Gone With the Wind, although its first printing was in 1936, fiddle dee dee and la di da! I’ll think about that tomorrow. It is a prized possession. Books are meant for reading, but they also can be quite decorative and provide visual interest in your home.

Bookshelves, bookcases, mantels, hutches, side tables, coffee tables and tops of dressers and cabinets are all appropriate places for displaying wonderful books. Placement will, of course, always be determined by their size and shape.
