Old Copies of the Canon...

Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a super blessed week!
I'm sorry about not posting the contest information yet, but Grace is currently away so we haven't had time to finish prepping. It will be up soon, though.

But for now, I have some awesome pictures to share!
My mom and I went on a college tour of Bryan College in Dayon, TN a couple of weeks ago. They had a libary FULL of very old books. I, naturally, wandered to the British Literature section and got my hands on two copies of Sherlock Holmes...one, a copy of the Hound of the Baskervilles from 1902:

And one, a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, dated 1900.

There was also a book with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's picture in it, dated 1896.

They were pretty awesome...all falling apart and such, but it was amazing to hold a book in my hands back from the time Holmes was actually created :)
Anywho, like I said, contest information is on it's way; I shall likely be working on it this very afternoon. Enjoy the pictures, and have a spectacular weekend!
