It's the first of the month in the City Daily Photo community. These antediluvian volumes show their age so beautifully. I'm sure there's more beauty to be found in the words contained within. Please visit other interpretations of today's theme by clicking HERE.

Fabulous post. One of my favourites so far but then books will always do it for me, however tattered they may be.
Indeed, fabulous, old books are always full of sentiment and seem to have lots to tell.
What a wonderful example of the beauty of decay. Treasure volumes.
Really nice photo, I love the sepia tones and the Roman numerals on the volumes. Thanks!
I love this! It's perfect for the theme.
This is soooo pretty.
For me it looks like some I saw in a bookshop in Paris.
Those wonderful volumes of literature surely must be very fragile. I like how you have framed your shot. (I wonder if I have been to Quincy. A little research is required starting with a map. Cheers.)
You’ve made a great Theme Day post. I'm glad you picked this to share with us.
Great shot for the theme.
Oh now those old books have won my heart. Excellent!

Fabulous photo and perfect for theme day, one of my favourites.
A wonderful depiction of "Beauty of Decay" and I'm sure there's a wealth of beauty within the pages of these aged
"Adelaide and Beyond"
This has such a tactile quality, love this capture and the old books! They are even more beautiful in their decay.
Beautiful image of decaying books in the monastery library. Great choice.
This just says "Paris" to me... love the washed out look of the books, ancient! I hope that these are all yours.
