Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."Ê Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.There are now 65,000Ê titles availableÊ (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such asÊ Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

A delightful vintage, and RARE, children's poetry book, the classic by Robert Louis Stevenson, "A Child's Garden of Verses". It has 6 beautiful color illustrations. Gray hardcover with a color illustration on the front cover of a child playing on the beach. Back cover has some light stains near the edge. Binding is intact but a little bit loose. Measures 6-1/2x8-3/4". No date but possibly first edition, around 1920. NOTE: There is an error on the title page, just before the frontispiece, the title is printed as "A Child's Garden of Verse" (without the "s" at the end.). I believe this adds to the value and rarity of the book. I saw this book selling for $300 once, so my price is definitely more reasonable, especially for something that is a beautiful vintage book to collect!
