This charming wee leather book for keeping track of friends and family birthdays is nearly 100 years old. Approximately 4.5” x 3.5”.

It remains crisp, clean, and unused within! This Precious Thoughts Birthday Book has beautiful gilt page edges, and features quotes & poetry along blank date spaces to record dates to remember. The primary sign of age I can discern is some splitting of the leather along the spine, while binding remains intact.

Charming endpapers, and the sweetest little floral slipcase with a heart cut out. The rear endpapers have picked up a bit of the leather color along edges from nearly a century of shelving.

The Winter Shelf is a small, home-based bookseller. We care deeply about books and carefully inspect, clean, and take photos of those we sell so that you can see the actual item you are considering and bid with confidence, rather than taking a chance on a stock photo. We also aim to describe them with care. No AI, here. We want you to love your purchase. Please ask any questions before buying - we are happy to help!

We also take packaging seriously, wanting you to receive the book in the exact condition you purchased it in. We often reuse clean recycled packaging to try to lessen our impact, so you may see a brand logo packaging arrive that isn’t relevant to your purchase, but should help it arrive safely.

The Winter Shelf is a tiny, home-based bookseller. We treasure books & though we can’t match the lowest prices of giant thrift accounts, we hope that the care we take at every step is evident and might earn your repeat business.
