My Emma copy

This is my copy of Jane Austen's Emma. I bought it in a charity shop in London. I love the 70s style cover. It had a surprise inside. I found an old postcard inside that I use it as a bookmark.

It's a postcard from the VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEM about 'Promenade dresses' in 1873.

Here I found more information about fashion during the 19th Century.

I have always loved 2nd hand books. You can see through them traces of what other readers leave behind. You learn about the live of the books and their readers. It's a discovery path that we follow when we read a used book.
