My uncles, DH, and I spent most of the day browsing used bookstores in Hillcrest. I found a gem - an 1879 copy of Tennyson's Poetical Works. Not rare or expensive or anything, but it has such charm! (Edited to add: DH is objecting to my saying that I found a gem. He is insisting that he get credit for finding it for me.)

Wow, that book is beautiful!

I hope your parents get there soon and I'll keep your grandfather in my prayers. *hug*

what a lovely book! I've fixed some late 1800s volumes at work, but never anything in such good condition as that.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. ♥

What a beautiful book! I love Tennyson.

I hope your parents' trip goes well the rest of the way, and I'll keep your grandfather in my thoughts and prayers.

Add me to the list of jealousfolks!

That book is absolutely beautiful!

*hugs* about your grandfather... Actually, kind of odd that I stumbled upon this since my grandfather is in a similar situation (advanced diabetes which has recently led to a second heart attack and kidney failure)I know this can be tough. I hope all goes well for you.

I am guessing the parents are coming into town for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it that is?
