Likely with the plank/bat still attached to them.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 27 Jul 2017, 23:24 ---I think that I understand Claire's dilemma here. We've all seen things that we feel compelled to buy even though we have no use for them (even if said use was clearly defined). With me, it's pop science books that I never end up reading.

Antique books. Especially if it's older than 1955.
I just wish my first edition 'A Princess of Mars' was in better condition. The poor thing's binding is coming undone. At least my oldest book is still in good-ish condition; 'Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a Hero' from 1848.

With the original illustrations. Thackeray drew his own illustrations, so they are PART OF THE BOOK! but no modern publisher will include them. I've been trying for years to find such an edition.

Maddeningly, this doesn't say too much about the illustrations...
