Thank you for reading this week's Shop Update. 💖

This week's collection is totally random because it features a bunch of books I found at a library sale or two! Instead of sorting them into categories, we will explore them all as one big hunt for treasure!

Here are some of my favorites for kids: Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia 🔔, The Arabian Nights illustrated by Tenggren 🗡️, Five Years of Children's Books 📚. Two books about maps and geography that are both extra-special: maps and map-making and this geography book (look at the illustrations).

And for families, 3 fabulous Better Homes and Gardens titles: BHG Baby Book 👩🍼, BHG Family Camping - OMG I love this one! 🏕️, and BHG Story Book 🦄.

For the art lover, these Metropolitan Museum of Art books always sell quickly - each comes with 12 art prints! 🖼️

You will also find this huge brick of a book 🧱 full of beauty.

There are also some classics in there, like this collectible Shakespeare, this Hemingway, Helen's Babies, and this Steinbeck with a rockin' retro cover. Plus, some more academic picks like this book on Wordsworth or this collection of letters.

Isn't it fun to see so many different books all in one place? I need to do this more often!
