medical texts for art or collection
I have some old medical books for sale craft cheap...
My medical antiques collection has been evolving more toward instruments and specimens.. further from texts. When cleaning out my displays I pulled some of the books I have not looked at in a long time realising that I do not, in fact, need over 30 medical books, heh.
I do have to admit the idea of dismantling books has always upset me so I have never been able to bring myself to do it... but the photos and images would make nice backgrounds for shadowboxes.
a link to the books [facebook gallery].
To not just leave a sale post and run here are some photos of my collection... looking at this makes me realise how grossly behind I am on cataloging all of it [then there's the postmortems which I haven't fully even started yet either]... sheesh.
In any case... anyone else collect the medical or postmortem things? Would love to see other collections!
