WONDERFUL antique BLUE GREEN covers French deckled edge books dated 1894. No two are alike. These are all different. Deckle edges’ are the rough, untrimmed edges of a sheet of handmade paper (the deckle, from the German Deckel, ‘little cover,’ being the thin wooden frame around the mould on which the pulp is placed). Deckle edges are much prized by collectors, especially in books before the age of edition-binding in cloth. These are sold individually. Perfect to display as is or use on any of your craft projects. Taken apart each one of these books would be PERFECT to cover a wall. The books are approximately 5" x 7.5" and have about 300 pages in each give or take a few here and there.

Please note that these are one of a kind items with wear and tear commensurate with age. These might have missing backs and the spines are not intact.
