antique book about paris
Last time I was at Value Village, I found this great book in the old books section for only $3! It’s part of the Peeps at Great Cities series, where someone would write a book about a city and what it was like there. The Paris book is written by Margery Williams, the author of The Velveteen Rabbit. This one was written in 1910, and this edition’s from 1916, it’s in really good condition for being almost 100 years old. I've never bought any old books from Value Village before, but I fell in love with this one so I couldn't pass it up.
There’s a nice map of Paris on the inside. This copy used to belong to the Ontario School for the Deaf in Belleville (which has been the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf since 1973)
They also wrote books about different countries. Obviously, being about 100 years old, some countries had different names then. I'd really love to see the other volumes. I took a look on ebay and there are tons of reprints but there are a few originals like this one for different places.
The table of contents.
The book has these really nice illustrations in it
