Altered book lovers in my area?

[ShesSoCrafty]

I have a ridiculous amount of books at my house...(we tried to count once and there are over 200) there are two huge boxes full of books we cleaned out of the attic and I want to get rid of alot of them...
Still at the top recommended that I offer this as a trade...
So What I have... lots of vintage books from the 70s I've gone thru one box and this is what I've got so far...
Lots of 60s and 70s new age pages
horoscopes, numerology and such
Lots of paper back horror novels
Paperback classics
Lots of Psychology
Religion esp. buddism and christianity
Greek Mythology...
Asorted history books...
poetry and plays
Philosophy
I will update as it goes along... but if you have a specific request I will go thru and see what I can find...
As it gets warmer outside I will be cleaning out the attic again and there are more up there... Most of the pages are aged very nicely... PM me and tell me what you are looking for or want... I'm offering 15 pages Assorted or of your selected categories. I'd rather recycle these and see them used some way constructive than just trash them...
So Pm me if you are interested!!!

What I'm looking for is papers
Vintage Ephemera
White paint acrylic or watercolor
glitter
Atcs in odd textures
fabric, lace or ribbon scraps any

But I like suprises so what ever you have and don't want I'm pretty good at finding ways to use odd things!!!

You could offer pages torn from ones you think collagers might like on the trade your stuff thread, and request items that you would like to have to craft with in return.

Very nice idea! I hadn't thought about how to go about this alls i know is that a bunch of people could use these... If you saw my house you would understand we're exploding in books!!!

[stillatthetop]

I would be interested in any that have funky 70's or earlier fashions...I am doing a skinny book in that theme and wish to do a few pages for myself. 50's poodle skirts, crazy hippy clothes, boufont hairdoos, weird biker attire/tatoos/jewelry, disco stuff...that kind of thing. Anything with airplanes and air mail planes/mail and postcards from the 30's for my altered book?

[ShesSoCrafty]

I've set this up as a trade now. I have some mad magazine paper backs with some crazy hippie line art? I'm still looking though... there's another box in basement!!!

[musicgal]

Let's see what we can trade. You've got some interesting things that I am interested in..pages from the history books, poetry and plays, greek mythology.

I have fabric and lace.
I have some glitter, too.

[ShesSoCrafty]

Any particular theme for the greek stuff? We run the gamut from greek philosophy history of alexander and mythology we have alot of these!! And let me know in terms of the plays and poetry... modern or ancient? I can get a list together for you! And let me know how many pages!

I raided the attic, which I hate to go into because there's creepy spiders up there!!! But I found some cool stuff and tossed some stuff! I found a couple of cool books with vintage illustrations... a book from the 60s on Goya and one on Chagall... 2 old smithsonian gallery guides with art work... some coins from other countries and like 15 wheat pennies! But my husband is going to confiscate the pennies I'm sure! A couple of cool books on Native american culture... Old Shakespeare...Some chinese and Japanese poetry (translated but the pictures are cool)! and some more Astrology Books!
A very successful craft day but now if I could get all my other stuff done I'd be Golden!

Cars4Cows here are some scans of what I have found... These were the more interesting books... We are really light on pictures though! But I do have a really nice picture book of native americans but We can't part with it! I'd be more than happy to make some scans of the pictures from the book and include it on a CD for you! It's basically all black and white stills from the late 19th century... I'm more than happy to help out anyone doing a Native American theme, both me and the hubby have Cherokee blood! Let me know what you think!
The first book is about Kokopeli and has alot to do with hopi and anasazi indians and has a few pictures I included One.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2184/2351375773_60e8c6d372.jpg and this is the cover...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2056/2352211950_5d05b77e5f_m.jpg
The third is all text but it is really cool I think! It's all native wisdom sayings hence the title...lol...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2082/2351376339_8c18377500_m.jpg and here is a sample page...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2347/2351375999_e5b25ca93a_b.jpg and the last book is mostly history... I didnt scan a page for this one but here is the cover... this has no pictures... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2306/2351375069_76f8723330_m.jpg I also have a very old and beat up copy of bury my heart at wounded knee...

I'm sorry for the delay... I had easter bunny duties to attend to yesterday!!! Unfortunately with some of the Books my husband claimed of course... but let me know what you think of these! I have a couple more history books as well... But very light on pictures as well... but they have great text, Most of these I've read and loved I just don't have space for Everything!

Do you still have any books available? I have paper, some vintage epherma, lace scraps. Let me know!

[native killette]

I would love some of the foreign poetry, perhaps with some pictures. Also anything psychology, horror and astrology related.

I have lots of different paper and ephemera I'm will to give up along with a variety of beads, maybe some cool pens as well.
