readers digest.


So, working in a showroom requires random accessories to fill book shelves, trays, and table tops. Luckily we have a surplus of books to fill our shelves (we have a lot of shelving units that require staging). So what did my boss do with some of the extra? Give them to me of course! Oh, well I mean I asked her for them, but still they're MINE and they're beautiful! And good reads.

I'm mostly referring to the vintage Reader's Digest Condensed hardcover books that came out during the 50's-90's. They're gorgeous, and totally trend worthy.

I grabbed an array of the blue and green editions. And I just love them!

It helps that Jaws 2 was in the first copy I grabbed, and that book was epic.

I love sharks. And books.

These are great! There are hundreds of them at DI, so I bought a bunch when I was decorating my house, and lined the back of our bookshelves with them, cover side out so it was like a wall (wallpaper?) of the cool covers! Aren't they lovely?????

I have boxes of Readers Digest book from my grandmother but no space to display them. Hopefully someday soon I'll get to unpack them. Cute blog.
