Lovely! I can almost feel the texture of the paper! The content of the book (what I can see in the photos) reminds me of a two-volume set of books on medicinal plants as used by Native Americans. A professor at The University of Michigan-Dearborn hired me to help code the uses of each plant so the uses could be indexed. What an education that was!
I so enjoy your posts and the memories they evoke for me.
