| A selection of 'vintage' fabrics, probably not that old but look the part, and French linguistic tapes that definitely are vintage... | See? Unfortunately I don't have the machine to play them, but that might come... |
| And an extra surprise... | 'Gibson's Modern Method Spelling Book Part 6', 1934 (Sorry about the blur...) |
| How to Spell | This was between the pages of 'Cambridge Intermediate Mathematics', 1931 |
| Magaret Ysobel Williams owned a few of the books in the pile... which one is she in the photo, if any? | Frontispiece of 'the Albion Readers', no date, but contemporary to the others |
| Scribbled in a book of arithmetic from 1915, and the name found practised in the margins is Neville Williams... brother of Margaret? | More art from Neville |
| Found between the pages of the arithmetic book, a test paper from 1942 | A beautiful volume to introduce young children to literature, 1922 |
| Frontispiece | An excerpt from Alice in Wonderland in the book |
| 'The Universal Home Doctor', with dustjacket, no date but contemporary | Illustrations from the Home Doctor |
Later on I'll do a post on each book; each one deserves individual attention especially for the illustrations, hand drawn or not... also if anyone actually knows of Margaret Ysobel Williams or her possible brother, please get in touch - I'm about to Google them myself :)
