@exlibrarykris

This is the third post I am making on this fabricated "outrage"

When I death cleaned my parents house, I threw out close to 1000 books.

Threw out as in recycling, together with plastic bottles and aluminum foil.

NO ONE WANTED MY OLD BOOKS.
NOT EVEN FOR FREE.

Let me repeat that for the pearl clutching folks in the back.

NO ONE FUCKING WANTED MY OLD BOOKS !!!

At least ingested into the orphan crushing machine, they may survive in some form.

It’s Friday, let’s read: Gardening for women and Frances Wolseley

(Edited 03/08/2025: Monica was so kind to search online for the book The Countryman’s Log Book and shared the link in the comments. Thank you so much! I’m adding the link also in the post)

This week, the British Library shared a link to the online exhibition “Frances Wolseley: Gardener, activist, aristocrat” at LibraryOn, that shows the importance Wolseley had in promoting gardening as a profession for women. The exhibition is based on the special collections found in the libraries and it’s really interesting. You check it here.

Wolseley also wrote several books, now in public domain, so I thought that for the weekend I could share the links to Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive where you can download them and read them in whatever device you have (yes, even in a browser).

Gardening for Women – 1908 – a practical guide for women who wanted to follow gardening as a profession

In a College Garden – 1916 – About running a college for women gardeners

Women and the Land – 1916 – About the need to grow food during and after wartime

Gardens: their form and design – 1919 – Garden design (with beautiful illustrations, I think I’ll start with this one)

The Countryman’s Log Book – 1921 – About farming and old English traditions (It seems really interesting and is divided into months. Thank you to Monica that shared the link in the comments down below!)

She also published two more books that collected her articles published in a magazine (Some of the Smaller Manor Houses of Sussex and Historic Houses of East Sussex and their Owners). It’s not easy to find her books in paper either.

I hope you have a great weekend and happy reading!

Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.

I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

I scored some old books on Ebay. Just look at these endpapers! Why is new stuff cheap and shitty, but old stuff is beautiful?
