My grandmother's Bible. dunno how she acquired it but she had it as long as i can remember. It's a gorgeous Bible...inside and out. wish i had taken a better picture of it. i found it really difficult to do. I put on on a handcrafted Bible stand my father made for me, and then photographed it under natural sunlight indoors. Where the page bends...on the inside...makes it hard to get the whole page. anyone have an suggestions?

Step back!! And that looks like a gorgeous book indeed! Books are my passion, I eat them, collect them, adore them and to see that 'lil 1896 at the bottom of the page makes me green with envy!! :( Superb entry!!

thanks guys! good idea about standing back and zooming in! dunno why i didn't think about it. silly me. not enough sleep maybe. Pascale, i ADORE books too...used to have a wonderful collection but i had to get rid of them. no room. i hated giving them up! :(

OMG!!! I don't think I could ever do that!!! We don't have enough room either with more than a thousand books so they're in boxes under one of the bed at the moment! Man, that must have been heartbreaking to give them away! :(
