#OldBooks

Visions of vellum, a vague, old store, Vaulting memories vibrate and pour. A velvet silence, a vintage perfume, Where volumes whisper within a dim room. Each verse, a vanished and vibrant refrain, In #vellichor's heart, they forever remain. #vss365 #Poetry #Writing #Books #Verse #Vellum #OldBooks

I love to read you— A soul full of rare old books Devouring each page. #BSPP47 #OldBooks #haiku #senryu

Friend down the street asked if I wanted some old books from her basement. Turned out it was the fifth and sixth volumes of 1792 Edinburgh edition of Raynal’s History, with an interesting contemporary inscription. Now I wonder where the other volumes might be… #OldBooks #EarlyModern
