READERS DIGEST BEDSIDE BOOKS (TWO): The Bedside Book of the Art of Living, The Bedside Book of Discoveries

In 1959, Reader's Digest (UK) produced The Reader's Digest Bedside Library, which was a collection of 6 books.

It was only printed once and they are now collectors' items.

These little books are 5 1/2" x 4", and each has a different theme.

This is two books from that set.

The Bedside Book of the Art of Living

320 pages

Bound-in silk bookmark, which remains undisturbed.

This book has pressed flowers in it; I've left them alone.

This book has darkened somewhat with age, but it appears to be unread.

The Bedside Book of Discoveries

320 pages

Bound-in silk bookmark.

With woodcut engravings by the German artist Hellmuth Weissenborn.

This book has more wear. There is staining to pages 137-152.

It is quite dry and the binding is starting to pull a little.
