Vintage books

I mustn't forget to show you the books I found today! First up is this pair that I bought purely for their decorative patterned covers. Both are from 1955. You might remember I have posted other books like this before (click here and here to see).


The graphic designer in me loves this particular 1965 book cover:



And here's a cutie – "Rut and Jan - easy reading for children" (1960):




I think I need to translate this next page for some of you, as I find it very sweet and not just a little ironic :-)

  
 "Jan has a friend. 
He's called Finn.
Every day Finn goes over to Jan's.
He then asks:
Will you come out, Jan?
Then Finn and Jan goes out."
