Lime Green Stack of French School Books.

This is a stunning set of five antique French books in faded 'lime green' tones. They are 'aged to perfection' and will give you an instant 'old library' effect.

They look lovely tied up with twine and displayed on a coffee table, sideboard, mantelpiece, bedside table or dresser. The covers have faded with time to subtle, dusky, soft greens and the pages are yellowed with age, with age spots.

This 'lime green' book bundle is made up mostly of French school books, very collectible and increasingly hard to find. They are in genuine vintage condition, as you can see from the photos. They have been held and read by many, many people who have 'thumbed through' them, studied them, ear marked pages, loved, lost and cherished them and they have finally ended up here - looking for a new home and a new adventure. They have also gathered a few pencil marks and names inside the covers over the years. I've left them exactly as I found them because they're authentic.

Most importantly they have that 'old book smell' reminiscent of libraries and bookshops from a by-gone era - fabulously comforting.

The five books are all hardcover editions, distressed from years of genuine use and some of the pages are delicate and loose:
